One or two semesters of exchange
An exchange period of either a semester or a year allows students from partner institutions the opportunity to enrol in Master's level courses (S8, S9 - S10) at Centrale Méditerranée (during their final year before obtaining their engineering degree).
During the 8th semester (Master 1, 2nd semester), students are required to pursue a thematic pathway. These courses focus on the significant challenges that society will face in the future. They incorporate scientific instruction from a multidisciplinary standpoint, alongside considerations from the field of social sciences (ethics, geopolitics, etc.).
