Electrical Engineering: Energy and Systems (Bac+5, Master’s level)

The Ingénieur Spécialité Génie Électrique : Énergie et Systèmes is a three-year, full-time engineering program offered by CentraleSupélec at its Rennes campus in France. Taught in French, the program leads to a nationally recognized engineering diploma at Bac+5 (Master’s-equivalent) level. It combines electrical engineering, energy systems, computer science, mathematical modeling, and sustainable technologies to prepare students for the design, management, and optimization of modern energy infrastructures. The program emphasizes renewable energy integration, electricity networks, and the environmental, economic, and technological challenges of energy transition.

Curriculum and Practical Training

The six-semester curriculum covers electrical energy conversion, power electronics, programming, control systems, optimization, renewable energy technologies, smart grids, nuclear energy, electricity markets, energy system simulation, and environmental life-cycle assessment. Students undertake technical projects and professional internships, including 39 weeks of industry experience and at least 18 weeks of international experience. The final year includes specialized projects and a 22-week graduation internship. Students may also pursue international exchanges, research opportunities, entrepreneurial projects, and an optional work-study professionalization contract during the third year.

Admission Requirements and Tuition Fees

Admission is available through competitive examinations following at least two years of scientific preparatory education, a university admission competition for eligible third-year science and engineering students, or international double-degree partnerships. International double-degree applicants must normally complete at least three years of higher education at a partner institution and be nominated by their home university. The program is taught in French, although a specific French-language test or minimum CEFR level is not stated on the official page.

For the 2027–2028 academic year, the published annual fee table lists €2,500–€5,000 for eligible EU students and €6,330 for non-EU students, with reductions and exemptions available under applicable conditions. However, an explanatory paragraph on the same page quotes €6,180 for certain non-EU students, creating a tuition discrepancy that should be confirmed directly with CentraleSupélec. The engineering diploma is accredited by the French Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI).
