Centrale Méditerranée (French pronunciation: [sɑ̃tʁal meditɛʁane]), formerly known as École Centrale de Marseille ([ekɔl sɑ̃tʁal də maʁsɛj]), is a leading graduate school of engineering (or Grande école of engineering) located in Marseille, the second largest city in France. Centrale Méditerranée was created in 2006 by the merging of different previous institutions and has its origins from the École d'Ingénieurs de Marseille founded in 1891. As a successor school of the latter, it is one of the oldest French engineering Grande école, and is amongst the best engineering school of France.
It is one of the prestigious Centrale Graduate Schools (Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Marseille) and a member of the TIME (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) network.
From its creation, Centrale Méditerranée trains highly skilled and versatile engineers (called "ingénieurs centraliens"), recruited since 2004 through a nationwide highly competitive exam shared with the other Centrale Graduate Schools.
