Double Degree in Engineering and Architecture

In partnership with ensa Nantes - Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nantes

A dual culture in engineering and architecture at the crossroads of civil engineering, environment and architecture

Students follow a four-and-a-half year curriculum, broken down as follows:
 
  • The first 2 years of the engineering programme at Centrale Nantes, comprising a core curriculum and a specialisation in one of the following fields: Construction, Building and Urban Physics, Digital Society and Urban Issues. This part of the programme includes 120 hours of architecture courses. 
  • 2 years at ensa Nantes (to Master level)
  • Final 6-month internship

Selection of applicants

During the first year of the engineering programme, applicants for the double degree take part in architecture courses and exercises for two months. At the end of this period, they are selected based on their application form, results and interview.
 

A double degree

Successful completion of the double degree programme leads to dual certification in engineering (certifié CTI - commission des titres d'ingénieur) and in architecture (certifié CCST - commission culturelle, scientifique et technique pour les formations en architecture)
