CentraleSupélec

With an annual research budget of €40 million, CentraleSupélec hosts over 1,000 researchers, who work in its 17 laboratories and research teams (including 1 international research laboratory, 3 Labs Without Walls, and a mathematics federation) and 18 research chairs across its 3 campuses as well as on the European Research Centre located in the Champagne region of France (in Pomacle).  

At the core of the Graduate School of Engineering and Systems Sciences of the Université Paris-Saclay, CentraleSupélec hosts interdisciplinary projects across multiple academic centres and industrial partners. The Graduate Schools gather over 1,000 Master’s students and 600 Ph.D. students in various scientific fields, such as materials science, mechanics, civil engineering, industrial engineering, optics, telecommunications, robotics, and biomedical imaging. Conducting research at one of the 60 laboratories of the Graduate School is a sure path to the global world of R&D.
 
Research at CentraleSupélec is focused on the challenges of the 21st century, particularly in 9 key domains: Data Science & Artificial Intelligence; Health, Natural Sciences & Bio-engineering; Environment & Sustainable Development; Industry 4.0; Networks & Telecommunications; Cybersecurity; Energy; Aeronautics & Space; Transport & New Forms of Mobility.

CentraleSupélec provides access to state-of-the-art technological platforms and tools it has developed for its researchers, such as a scientific computing centre for digital simulation, high-power microscopes, and smart rooms for the study of cognitive and interactive robotics.
 
Together with the National University of Singapore (NUS), CentraleSupélec operates the SONDRA laboratory, which is hosted on the Paris-Saclay campus. CentraleSupélec is currently involved in collaborations with 5 laboratories abroad: CNRGiE(Singapore) 2MCIS (China); Smart Grid (Canada), UMI 2958 (United States), and LIA Energy and Environment (Brazil).
 

TUD students opting for a double degree programme at CentraleSupélec will spend two years on one or two of our campuses, depending on choices of specializations. Courses are taught in French and/or English. Proficiency in French (level B2 minimum) is required before graduation.

CentraleSupélec’s engineering programme is a generalist curriculum, meaning that all students must acquire the skills and knowledge of the programme. The curriculum, in its organization and progression, contributes to the definition of the students’ professional project and therefore includes a significant number of thematic courses, intended to prepare students for their career choices in the 3rd year: concentrations and professional focus options. It is composed of 40% of common educational activities (core curriculum, workshops, coding and start-up weeks, business games) and 60% of elective activities (engineering science and engineering challenges, projects, internships, etc.).

Year 1

The first year of CentraleSupélec Engineering Curriculum addresses two major themes: Modelling and Information, via a dedicated course offering in the two Engineering Challenge terms. It will also allow students to reflect on the construction of their academic and professional project.

Between 1st and 2nd year, students must complete a 5-week work placement in a company. The objective is to understand an operator’s job and its crucial role at the foundation of any product or service production process.

Year 2
