The engineer works at the heart of major industrial projects, in multicultural corporations and teams. What advantages does a Centrale Lyon graduate have in this regard?

 Command of English (level certified by TOEFL or TOEIC scores) and a good level in other languages: German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, Brazilian and Japanese are all taught on campus.
These last few years, 15% of the students have chosen to study a third foreign language.

 International corporate experience
Taking full advantage of the School's networks, students have the possibility of doing internships in any of the 5 continents.

 Studies partly followed abroad, with, in some cases, a double degree.
Students can do their third year in a partner institution - and, in some of them, read for a double degree: the TIME network in Europe, an M.Sc. in the USA, and, since 1999, double degrees in China, Russia or Brazil.

 Foreign students belonging to our partner institutions can come to Centrale Lyon in order to follow the two common core years and be awarded a double degree, or take one of our 3rd year options.
