Supélec

Supélec was a French graduate school of engineering awarding the equivalent of a master's degree and Ph.D opportunities. Founded in 1894 and initially located in the 15th district of Paris, it was moved to Gif-sur-Yvette in 1975. Since then, two more campuses have been established, in Rennes in 1972 and Metz in 1985. It is a member of Top Industrial Managers for Europe (TIME) network. It is also a member of the CESAER Association and n+i Engineering Studies.

The student body consists of over 2000 graduate students spread over Supélec's three campuses, and 780 full-time and part-time faculty. As is historically true of engineering institutions, female enrollment at Supélec is low, with about three times as many male students as female students. However, this is slowly changing due to the school's outreach programs to encourage more female high school students to consider careers in science and engineering.

Supélec is a private non-profit institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Industry and it is consistently ranked well; it has remained in the top five engineering schools in France.
