A Unique Opportunity
The Double Degree For Global Engineers
Students with a BS from a US university or
equivalent can obtain both the MSME from Georgia
Tech and a Master degree from ENSAM-SUPELEC, in
3 to 4 semesters only! ENSAM is the École
Nationale Supérieure dArts et Métiers. It is
the largest French Grande École in all areas of
mechanical engineering. SUPELEC is the École
Nationale Supérieure dElectricité. Both are
among the very best Engineering Schools in
France. (see next slides)

Language requirement

• While a degree of knowledge of the French
  language is desirable, it is NOT a requirement at
  registration.
• A French language course (not for credit and
  free) is offered at GTL. Students are expected to
  learn French gradually through immersion.

• It is a demanding program, but students without
  prior knowledge of French do succeed!
