The biggest university in Europe

 

CentraleSupélec was present at all stages of the creation of the Université Paris-Saclay, which officially came into being on November 5, 2019, with the publication of its founding decree in the Journal Officiel. The school is a component establishment of the university, along with AgroParisTech, the Institut d'Optique Graduate School and the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay.

Université Paris-Saclay offers a complete and varied range of Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees, the quality of which is recognised internationally thanks to the reputation of its research and the commitment of its teaching staff. Its components and component institutions further expand this offer with cutting-edge thematic training in sciences and engineering, life sciences and health, social sciences and humanities.

With 275 laboratories shared with the CEA, CNRS, IHES, INRAE, INRIA, INSERM, ONERA, the University Paris-Saclay represents 13% of the French research potential. Composed of 65,000 students, 9,000 teachers and lecturers and 11,000 technical and administrative staff, the University of Paris-Saclay is a driving force for the development of its territory and one of the best institutions in France.

At the same time, the University's component establishments and components are working on the construction of the 17 Graduate Schools. Each Graduate School coordinates a set of master's degrees and training programmes, doctoral schools and research teams organised around a theme, one or more disciplines, or a mission.

CentraleSupélec coordinates the Graduate School "Engineering and Systems Sciences".

In a unique ecosystem bringing together academic centres and industrial partners within the same territory, this "Engineering and Systems" Graduate School offers recognised master's and doctoral level courses in the fields of Engineering Sciences and associated digital sciences. These training courses open the way to professional integration into the Research and Development environment in France or abroad. The Graduate School has more than 1,400 Master's students and 600 PhDs graduating each year in several major research themes: materials, mechanics, civil engineering, industrial engineering, optics, electronics, telecommunications, electrical engineering, robotics, applied mathematics and numerics, high-performance computing, biomedical imaging, biotechnologies...

This Graduate School brings together more than sixty research laboratories that contribute to responding, through research and innovation, to major societal challenges. To prepare for tomorrow's world, it seeks to strike a balance between the ecological and economic development of our societies by conducting research at the best global level.  The increase in the international visibility of French engineering science education enables the Graduate School to attract the best students in its various training cycles.

CentraleSupélec's ambition between 2020 and 2024 is therefore to successfully launch this Graduate School to make it a strong point of Paris Saclay University.

The School has also chosen to be an operator in five other Graduate Schools:

    Higher education and research
    Mathematics
    Physics
    Computer Sciences
    Institute of Light Sciences

 

 

 

 

 

Flagship projects

CentraleSupélec is a leader within Université Paris-Saclay. We are responsible for the synergy between the academic and industrial actors on the Board and we generate ideas and projects that contribute to the success of the institution.

A search for leadership

It is primarily through our research that we at CentraleSupélec have established ourselves as a pillar of the Paris-Saclay cluster.

  • In 2009, we created the College of Sciences of Engineering and Systems (CSIS)
  • We have won 12 bids to tender under the Investments of Future program, designed to equip Université Paris-Saclay with laboratories and shared equipment of excellence.

We have also participated in 6 laboratories of excellence (LABEX) and 2 equipments of excellence (EQUIPEX) and co-directs 5 Université of Paris-Saclay Doctoral Schools.
