To become one of the best scientific institutions in the world, CentraleSupélec has developed its presence in the major countries of the future in order to meet the growing demand of highly qualified engineering companies:
École Centrale Beijing
In 2005, convinced by the excellence of the École Centrale education, broad-based and open towards the world and business, École Centrale Paris, with the École Centrale Group and Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) created École Centrale Beijing.
CentraleSupélec thus became the first French Engineering Grande École to export its excellence and teaching model abroad.
École Centrale Beijing offers a six-year program to train high-level generalized, versatile and trilingual engineers. After intensive language training, students spend two years completing Preparatory Classes before entering the three remaining years of the Engineering program, recognized by the French Commission for Engineering degrees (http://www.cti-commission.fr/).
École Centrale Beijing has signed privileged partnership agreements within the business world, a lever for it to develop economic links between France and China by providing non-specialized and bicultural engineers for employment.
Beyond initial training and the close relationships with industry, the school has a strong culture of research. It collaborates closely with the Beihang University on specific research projects.
Today, École Centrale Beijing boasts more than 700 students and 300 graduates.
Mahindra École Centrale
In 2014, a new École Centrale opened in India: Mahindra École Centrale (MEC).
Mahindra École Centrale is a private teaching institution created by CentraleSupélec with Mahindra Educational Institutes (Mahindra Group) in partnership with the Jawaharlal Technological University. The school is located on the Bahadurpally campus of Tech Mahindra in Hyderabad.
The Engineering program leads to the award of an Indian State diploma. This diploma is also recognized as a French Engineering degree.
The two first years are modeled on the two first years of Preparatory Class in French Grandes Écoles. Introductory lessons in engineering are progressively integrated with management and creativity lessons. The two final years enable students to specialize (in Mechanical Engineering, IT and Logistics Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering).
The teaching is inspired by CentraleSupélec teaching, with lessons adopting a systemic approach, activities dedicated to developing skills including leadership, creativity, teamwork and a real openness to the world of business and the world via student exchanges, internships and participation of international professionals and instructors.
In September 2016 Mahindra École Centrale welcomed its 3rd class, now boasting nearly 700 students across its three class years.

Ecole Centrale Casablanca
In 2015, CentraleSupélec strengthened its international presence by opening a third international school: École Centrale Casablanca.
Developed on the Écoles Centrales model, the École Centrale Casablanca three-year post-Preparatory Class Engineering program leads to the award of a Moroccan state diploma.
The first year is spent completing the joint series of modules of the program. Students are encouraged to go abroad for a semester to study with a partner school or university, or work in a company within the network.
For those who wish to explore the international dimension further, or gain a long-term professional experience, the school offers the opportunity to complete a placement year at the end of the 2nd year.
Over the course of the 3rd year, students gain sectorial specialization and discover careers. The program ends with an eight-month internship, and an end-of-studies project that supports their evolution towards the world of work.
Alongside its engineering program, École Centrale Casablanca also offers a Specialized Master’s (SM) degree in leadership and innovative projects, aiming to train high-level professionals with the skills to manage complex projects.
In September 2016, the school welcomed 80 students to its second class year. École Centrale Casablanca will inaugurate its new Bouskoura campus, located on the outskirts of Casablanca, beginning of 2017.

École Centrale Casablanca: creation of a hub
École Centrale Casablanca is the first non-specialized school of engineers in Morocco, with innovative teaching that aims to train high-level scientific engineers with an interdisciplinary culture and very open to the world. École Centrale Casablanca positions itself as a university hub on a Pan-African dimension, entirely integrated within the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the French-speaking region of West Africa, providing access to the international network of the other Écoles Centrales and the best international scientific research, with the explicit aim of training the elite directors of the African continent of tomorrow.
