Exchange year
The exchange year is amobility program offered to students in the general engineering curriculum. It lasts for one academic year, under an exchange agreement with one of École Centrale Lyon's partner universities: Erasmus agreement, bilateral agreement. It does not lead to a degree from the host university, but to the validation of credits.
The duration is two academic semesters for a total of at least 30 ECTS credits or equivalents. Students will also be required to carry out a TFE (Travail de Fin d'Études) in a laboratory or company, carried out as a priority in the host country and giving rise to a report and defense according to the procedures for a TFE at École Centrale Lyon.
Double Diploma
The Double Diploma takes place at one of Ecole Centrale Lyon's partner universities and enables students to obtain almost simultaneously the diploma of the host university and the diploma of École Centrale Lyon.
In general, the program takes place over a minimum of two years - possibly extended by a semester to learn the country's language, as is the case for China and Japan. This curriculum is under the responsibility of the host university, which manages tuition and graduation procedures.
Non-partnership Master
In addition to exchange agreements, Centrale Lyon offersstudents in the general engineering curriculum the opportunity to enroll in a Master's program at a university with which it has not signed a partnership agreement. This choice must nevertheless be validated by the University Exchange Commission (CEU).
Students who apply outside partnerships, will be treated by the host university like any other applicant. They follow the university's standard recruitment and admissions process. It is recommended to have a particularly strong portfolio.
In this type of training,students obtain two diplomas but training abroad takes place outside the partnership agreements with Centrale Lyon.
