International, a key lever at CentraleSupélec

In a constantly changing world, CentraleSupélec places internationalization at the heart of its strategy. Our students and researchers thrive in a multicultural environment that allows them to gain an insight into major global scientific and technological issues.
We prepare our students for a career without borders, while welcoming talent from around the world in a dynamic, inclusive and stimulating environment.

A commitment included in our strategic plan

Internationalization is not only an opportunity for our students and teachers, it is also a strategic priority for our school. In our strategic plan 2022-2032, we affirm our ambition to:

• Training engineers to meet global challenges by doubling the number of graduates by 2032.
• Strengthening our international influence by attracting more foreign students and developing strategic partnerships.
• Promoting international mobility for all our students and teacher-researchers in order to enrich their career paths and their perspectives.

Our ambition is clear: to become the 1^st "school of engineering" in Europe, by making international a strength for our training, our research and our graduates.

A unique international experience for our students

Whether through the academic exchanges, double degrees, internships abroad, Or the mobility of teacher-researchers, CentraleSupélec makes every effort to ensure that each student and each teacher-researcher can benefit from an enriching international outlook.
 

ERASMUS +

Erasmus+ code: F GIF-YVE03

This programme is funded by the European Union and proposes measures to support exchanges between higher education institutions in Europe by aiming at improving the quality and strengthening the European dimension of higher education, increasing the mobility of students, teachers and university staff, strengthening multilateral cooperation between higher education institutions and between higher education institutions and businesses, as well as transparency and recognition of qualifications acquired in higher education and higher vocational training in Europe.

ERASMUS+ Study and internship mobility

The study/internship period abroad is supervised by the sending (French) institution and the host institution. It is recognized for obtaining the diploma in France thanks to the ECTS credits and the study contract/internship agreement that the student signs before departure.
Within the limits of the funds allocated to our establishment by the Erasmus+ France agency, students staying in a partner establishment will be offered an Erasmus+ grant. 

Students undertaking a stay (academic semester or double degree) at a partner university and in the study program provided for in the exchange agreement will be contacted personally. Students undertaking a semester mobility outside Europe (including the United Kingdom and Switzerland) at one of CentraleSupélec's strategic partner universities may be offered an Erasmus+ scholarship, subject to available funds and in accordance with the rules defined by the European Commission. The students concerned will be contacted personally.

Students undertaking an internship (company/laboratory) will be able to respond to a call for applications which will be sent to them at the appropriate time. 

Please note! Gap year internships are not eligible for an Erasmus+ mobility grant.

Un "contribution to travel expenses" package adds to the contribution to accommodation costs. It depends on the distance between the home institution (CentraleSupélec, Gif-sur-Yvette campus) and the host institution (campus where the studies/internship take place), and the means of transport used (eco-responsible: train, bus or carpooling - or not). To benefit from the "eco-responsible means of transport" package, this means of transport must be used for both the outward and return journeys. Appropriate supporting documents must be presented where applicable.

A financing supplement of €250 per month in addition to the above-mentioned packages for participants with fewer opportunities such as students with disabilities or beneficiaries of a long-term illness (ALD) or students receiving higher education grants based on social criteria, levels 6 and 7. For each case, supporting documents will be required. Students with disabilities or those receiving a long-term illness (ALD) are also likely to receive actual cost support for expenses related to the organization of their mobility, with prior agreement from the Erasmus+ France Agency.  

ERASMUS+ Staff mobility for teaching and training

Within the limits of the funds allocated to our establishment by the Erasmus+ France agency, staff (teachers, researchers and administrative and technical staff) staying in an establishment holding the Erasmus Charter will be offered an allowance, consisting of a lump sum for travel expenses and a lump sum for accommodation expenses.

Duration: from 2 days to 2 months (excluding travel days) 
Weekly commitment for teaching staff : 8 hours of lessons per week or 4 hours of lessons + training
