A demanding, inclusive approach
The Centrale Lyon training policy is based on two fundamental principles: academic requirement and inclusion.
The requirement guarantees the excellence of the training and the quality of the diplomas awarded. Inclusion, meanwhile, promotes profile diversity and equal opportunity through personalized support enabling a path to success for every student.
Programs balance fundamental sciences, engineering sciences and human and social sciences, offering students a global understanding of technical and societal issues.
Scientific excellence and innovative teaching methods
Students at Centrale Lyon benefit from high-level scientific and technical training, enriched by an innovative pedagogy that combines theory and practice. The pedagogical approach is based on several axes, enabling future engineers to prepare effectively for the professional world:
- Practical and directed laboratory work: theoretical concepts are directly applied through concrete experimentation.
- Interdisciplinary projects: this work encourages collaboration and analysis of complex problems, enabling innovative solutions to be developed.
- Skills-based approach: students develop both technical and behavioral skills, essential to their success in the professional world.
- Company internships: from the very first years, students are immersed in professional environments to put their academic knowledge into practice.
Thanks to this diversity of approaches, students master the engineering sciences while developing the human, social and professional skills necessary for their professional development.
Students at Centrale Lyon have the opportunity to take a teaching module at one of the CHELS member institutions. This option enriches their academic career, broadening their field of knowledge and bringing new perspectives to their professional project.
Validation of these shared modules also enables ECTS credits to be obtained. Find out more.
Le Cours Commun: a cycle of 12 free lectures open to all, led by teacher-researchers from CHELS establishments. Each 1:30 lecture tackles a common theme through crossed perspectives, followed by an exchange between the speaker and the audience. The topics covered are linked to current societal issues, attracting a wide audience: students from CHELS establishments and other universities, teachers, and the general public.
By participating, you can obtain an attestation and, under certain conditions, recognition in ECTS credits. Find out more.
