Applying to Ecole Centrale de Nantes: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Ecole Centrale de Nantes?
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 Ecole Centrale de Nantes 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 Ecole Centrale de Nantes 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. Ecole Centrale de Nantes makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Ecole Centrale de Nantes 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 Ecole Centrale de Nantes?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Ecole Centrale de Nantes asks for IELTS 5.5 to 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 78 or TOEIC 800, 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 Ecole Centrale de Nantes?
For a September start at Ecole Centrale de Nantes, 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 Ecole Centrale de Nantes are taught in English?
