Applying to Centrale Lille: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Centrale Lille?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the Centrale Lille programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the procedure asks for, and submit the file on time. Applications to Centrale Lille from outside the EU go through Campus France’s Études en France procedure, where each answer about your study plan is read closely, so we work on those answers with you. Centrale Lille makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Centrale Lille need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Public universities compare many files for a limited number of places, so a study plan that is clear and consistent matters as much as your marks. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for Centrale Lille?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Centrale Lille asks for level B1, B2 and C1 in English. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to Centrale Lille?
For a September start at Centrale Lille, the application period runs from October to December of the year before. There is one main round a year, so a late file usually means waiting a full year. Start preparing your documents well before October.
Which programmes at Centrale Lille are taught in English?
10 of the programmes listed on this page are taught fully in English, including Bachelor's Degree in Management and Engineering Sciences, Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree STRAINS Advanced in solid mechanics, International Master Aeronautic and Space - Turbulence and International Master in BioMedical Engineering.
