Double Degree
As the backbone of its international academic reputation, Centrale Lille has developed double degree programmes with carefully selected universities, giving international students access to the school’s engineering courses.
International students complete part of their studies at their home university (master’s level) and a maximum of two years at Centrale Lille, earning both the degree from their home university and the engineering degree or the master’s degree from Centrale Lille.
Each year, Centrale Lille’s partner universities organise a selection process for candidates wishing to do a double degree at Centrale Lille. Selected students go on to study at Centrale Lille.
We welcome double degree students in the following courses:
- École Centrale de Lille (generalist engineer: years 1 and 2 or years 2 and 3 of the engineering cycle)
Find out more: description of double degrees
- École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Lille (chemical engineer)
- Master’s Programmes
Pursuing a double degree at Centrale Lille requires a good command of the teaching language (minimum certified level B1).
Non-Degree mobility and Erasmus exchanges
Centrale Lille also provides international students from its partner universities the opportunity to complete one or two academic semesters of a non-degree mobility programme. These periods of study allow you to validate ECTS credits which will be recognised in your home university thanks to existing agreements with Centrale Lille. It’s also a great way to find out about our approach to engineering education, and to explore a wide range of disciplines.
We welcome non-degree mobility students in the following courses:
- Generalist engineering programme at École Centrale de Lille (semester or academic year)
Find out more: description of non-degree-mobility programmes
- ENSCL chemical engineering programme (semester or academic year)
Non-degree mobility at Centrale Lille requires a good command of the French language (certified B1 level minimum), except for programmes in English (see below).
Mobility programmes in English 
To complement these mobility programmes taught in French, Centrale Lille has developed a range of non-degree training courses in English.
