Applying to Centrale Méditerranée: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Centrale Méditerranée?
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 Méditerranée 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. Because Centrale Méditerranée is a Dimensions France partner school, we send your application straight to its admissions team and you pay no application fee. Centrale Méditerranée makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Centrale Méditerranée 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 Méditerranée?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Centrale Méditerranée asks for IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 72 (level B2), depending on the programme. 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 Méditerranée?
For a September start, applications to Centrale Méditerranée are open from October to July; for a January start, from July to November. Once your documents are ready we need about 5 days to submit, the school then holds its interview, and the whole process takes about 30 days. Applying early leaves more choice of programmes and more time for your student visa.
What does it cost to apply to Centrale Méditerranée with Dimensions France?
One fee of €250 covers your whole admissions file: up to 7 public universities, up to 3 partner schools and any number of top schools. It is paid in full when you start and is not refundable. Centrale Méditerranée charges no application fee when you apply through us, and you receive €1,000 cashback from Dimensions France, paid in instalments while you stay enrolled.
