Centrale Lyon

Founded in 1857, Centrale Lyon ranks among the top ten engineering schools in France. It welcomes over 3,000 students from 50 different nationalities across its Écully and Saint-Étienne campuses (ENISE, its internal school), offering programmes for generalist and specialised engineers, as well as masters and doctoral students. As a member of the Centrale Group, it also has three international campuses. The school’s teaching excellence is underpinned by outstanding research: six CNRS-recognised laboratories, two international laboratories, six global research networks, and ten joint laboratories with industry. This expertise enables Centrale Lyon to offer numerous double degree programmes, both in France (with partner universities and leading schools) and abroad, as well as to establish strategic partnerships with top companies. Focused on the major challenges of the energy transition, Centrale Lyon directs its research and education towards sustainability, energy, environment, and decarbonisation, supporting socio-economic actors in addressing the pressing issues of tomorrow.
