CentraleSupélec engineer, electrical engineering: Energy and Systems
High-level engineering training to meet the challenges of the energy transition through systems sciences.
Proposed on the Rennes campusThe engineering course in electrical engineering, energy and systems trains profiles capable of designing, modeling, controlling and optimizing the energy systems of tomorrow.
The training combines advanced scientific skills, a systemic approach to energy issues and knowledge of environmental, economic and societal challenges. It is based on lessons integrating Energy, modelization, IT, Sustainability et transitions, with progressive specialization throughout the course.
Becoming an Electrical Engineering Specialist
The course trains engineers capable of combining in-depth scientific and technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the issues related to the energy transition.
Students acquire mastery of tools for modeling, simulation, control and optimization of complex systems, and know how to apply them to current and future energy infrastructures.
They also develop their skills in communication, teamwork and independent learning, enabling them to adapt to increasingly complex systems and the multidimensional challenges of energy sustainability.
Course objectives:
- To train engineers with advanced expertise in electrical engineering and energy systems management.
- Develop skills in modeling, simulation, control and optimization of complex systems.
- Integrate societal and environmental issues into project management and decision-making.
- Enable a multidisciplinary understanding of energy systems, with a focus on the transition to renewable energies and energy efficiency
Program
A 3-year course
The training is spread over six semesters, with academic semesters combined with professional internships. Those in spring (S6, S8, S10) include a period of in-company training (internship). In the third year, students can choose to complete the alternating training, which allows them to work in a company while continuing their studies.
The lessons are divided into 6 areas:
- Humanities, Business and Professionalization
- Science
- Energy
- Industrial
- System
- Transitions
weeks of internship
minimum weeks of international experience
present in 80 countries
compulsory modern languages

Registration fees - Financing
-
From the start of the 2026-2027 academic year, CentraleSupélec will adapt the registration fees for the engineering course to the resources of families, in order to strengthen its commitment to equal opportunities and social openness.
Students receiving scholarships will remain exempt, while the rights of non-scholarship students will be adjusted according to their reference tax income per share:Students receiving social criteria-based scholarships will remain exempt.
For non-scholarship students, the amount will be progressive and between €2,500 (for the 4 poorest deciles) and €5,000 (for the 2 most advantaged deciles).
This initiative aims to promote diversity and further open access to the school's excellent training programs.
A simulator for annual registration fees is available here: registration fee calculator.
The amount determined upon entry to the school will be maintained for the entire duration of schooling.
