Gap year
Gap year: a personal choice
The gap year gives students the opportunity to undertake a personal project and to live an original experience, which is not accessible to him/her within the classic training framework (including international mobility).
The gap year constitutes a pause in the studies, between two semesters (after semester 7 or 8, where semester 8 comprises the second year internship).
The gap year:
- does not contribute towards the award of the degree at Centrale Nantes
- is based on the development of a personal project with full awareness of the consequences (autonomy, degree obtained one year later etc.)
The application is the starting point for a gap year, it is not necessary, at this stage of the project, to have a firm answer from the establishment that will be able to accommodate the student.
This definitive answer will be required from the student at the year-end examinations board at the end of May.
