CENTRALE NANTES

Patrick Chedmail, Director of Centrale Nantes



For the last 90 years Centrale Nantes has aimed at training high scientific level leaders, managers and innovators fully active in the global environment.

In order to achieve that goal, Centrale Nantes has developed three trends:

A High-level School of Science


The Centrale Nantes was one of the very first schools to combine three activities within its structure: Education, Research and Industrial Studies.

Given these choices, it was natural for us to become an important institution for general engineering; the positions currently held by our alumni and the recognition of its educational standards by the corporate world are ample proof of the School's success.

RANKING:
According to L'Express and L'Etudiant Magazines, Ecole Centrale de Nantes appears in the TOP 11 of  200 French engineering Schools.
