Centrale Lille Institut is a public engineering institution based on the Cité Scientifique campus in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, near Lille, in northern France. Its history goes back to the École des Arts industriels et des mines, opened in 1854. Since 2019-2020 it has grouped four engineering schools: École Centrale de Lille (general engineering), ENSCL (chemical engineering), ITEEM (engineering and management, with SKEMA Business School) and IG2I (digital and industrial engineering), the last on a campus in Lens.

It offers engineering degrees, master's degrees, PhDs, a bachelor's degree and its own school diplomas. The masters are co-accredited with the Université de Lille in 7 fields with 15 tracks, 7 of them taught entirely in English. Most other courses are taught in French, and international students take compulsory French as a foreign language classes throughout the year.

Options for international students include:

• Double degrees with partner universities
• Exchange semesters or years, including English-taught semesters
• Master's and PhD programmes
• A Summer Research Immersion Programme from mid-May to mid-July

International students of École Centrale de Lille and ENSCL can stay in halls of residence on the Villeneuve-d'Ascq campus.

• Engineering degrees at four schools: general engineering (École Centrale de Lille), chemical engineering (ENSCL), digital engineering (IG2I) and engineering management (ITEEM)
• Bachelor in Management and Engineering Sciences: four years, taught in English, run by ITEEM with SKEMA Business School, covering artificial intelligence, data management, renewable energy and management

Master's degrees are co-accredited with the Université de Lille: 7 fields and 15 tracks, 7 of them taught entirely in English, plus two English-taught international masters (Aeronautic & Space major Turbulence and International Biomedical Engineering).

• Automation and electrical systems
• Chemistry
• Civil engineering
• Health engineering
• Mechanics
• Nanosciences and nanotechnologies
• Data science

PhDs are awarded in three doctoral schools: engineering and systems sciences (ENGSYS), mathematics and digital sciences (MADIS), and matter, radiation and environmental sciences (SMRE).

• Students of partner universities apply for double degrees and exchange semesters through their home university, which runs a selection each year; double-degree students spend up to two years at Centrale Lille
• Students from non-partner universities (freemovers) can apply individually for a master's programme and pay registration fees that depend on the course
• Laboratory internships of up to six months require the prior agreement of a Centrale Lille researcher as supervisor

Double degrees and exchange programmes require at least a certified B1 level in the language of teaching; for programmes taught in French this means French at CEFR level B1, while English-taught programmes are an exception. All international students take compulsory French as a foreign language classes during the year, which earn ECTS credits; double-degree students work towards the DELF B2.

• International students of École Centrale de Lille: Leonardo da Vinci residence, 15 minutes' walk from the school, with furnished single and double studios with their own kitchen and toilet
• International students of ENSCL: a CROUS hall of residence near the school, with single rooms of 9 to 18 m²

Both residences are eligible for the APL housing allowance.
