In 2015, the merger of two of France’s leading engineering universities led to the creation of 颁别苍迟谤补濒别厂耻辫é濒别肠.
The two schools which formed 颁别苍迟谤补濒别厂耻辫é濒别肠 were the ?cole Centrale Paris and ?cole Supérieure d'Electricité.
?cole Centrale Paris was founded in 1829 as a school for engineers in a variety of disciplines. ?cole Supérieure d'Electricité (or Supélec for short) was founded in 1864 and specialised in electrical engineering. Over the years both schools gained an international reputation for excellence in their fields and their graduates were some of the highest-earning in France.
颁别苍迟谤补濒别厂耻辫é濒别肠 has developed its own engineering degree which aims to combine the strengths of both component schools into one teaching programme. Students tackle the problems faced by engineers in the 21st century, preparing them for roles as managers, entrepreneurs and on-the-ground engineers.
Alumni of the ?cole Centrale Paris and ?cole Supérieure d'Electricité have gone on to become political and business leaders, including Louis Charles Bréguet, founder of Air France, Thierry Breton, Minister for Economy, Finance and Industry, and Alain Bénichou, CEO of IBM France.
The university has four campuses in historic and picturesque settings. Rennes is the capital city of Britanny, known for its medieval houses and rose gardens. Metz is located in the northeastern Lorraine region and is famous for its gothic cathedral. Gif-sur-Yvette and Ch?tenay-Malabry are two suburbs south of Paris, each less than an hour away from the capital by public transport.
