Master in Aerospace Engineering
Ecole centrale de Lyon is one of the highest engineering schools in France. Created in 1857, Ecole centrale de Lyon is among the best institutions worldwide in Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics.
Since several decades Ecole centrale de Lyon did develop a strong link to Aeronautic sectors and have still a number of large research programs with either aeronautic large companies (SAFRAN, AIRBUS, ONERA,…) and their suppliers and SME. Ecole centrale de Lyon is in this context hosting large experimental facilities; some of them are unique worldwide and connected to national excellency initiatives.

Why Choose the Ecole Centrale Master in Aerospace Engineering
Students enrolled in this program will acquire very high-level training in both the propulsion and the material/structure focus of aerospace engineering. The latter will give them a very good background for the management of complex aerospace engineering projects as well as an important insight into manufacturing and production-oriented items. Graduate students will have the opportunity to use high-level practical skills connected to aerospace engineering. Choosing the master of Aerospace Engineering at Ecole centrale de Lyon means then:
- Having access to top national laboratories and research structures at Ecole centrale de Lyon. Among them are the Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics Laboratory (LMFA), the Tribology and System Dynamics (LTDS). Both are well-known French institutions with a very high industrial impact and link.
- A small group teaching environment which is the signature of Ecole centrale de Lyon with very high interaction potentials.
- Lectures will be given by senior experts and famous scientists worldwide recognized for their expertise in fluid mechanics, acoustics, solids mechanics, structural materials, control, among others.
- A large part of the curriculum will be of practical character through a learning by doing way of thinking. Access to up to date and large facilities will be guaranteed.
- 20% of classes will be delivered by experts from the industry. The Ecole centrale de Lyon strong and long-standing links to important companies and research centers in the aerospace sector will be considered.
- Exchange mobility opportunities and dual degree program with international institutions (Germany, Canada,…) will be considered.
What our students say
“Having studied in three other countries before starting the Masters in Aerospace Engineering at Ecole Centrale Lyon (Brazil, USA, and Germany), I felt like at ECL the classes had the perfect size to be able to get the best support from professors, and to interact with and learn from fellow students. In addition to that, we had access to multiple well equipped laboratories with very approachable and helpful staff.
As far as extra curriculum activities, ECL and the city of Lyon are very diverse and full of activities for every taste (sports, culture, gastronomy, etc.), many of which organized by different groups of students from ECL.
Four years after finishing the program, I can directly relate how the skills that I developed there — specially soft skills acquired through group projects — are helping me perform better as a Continuous Improvement Manager.”
