How much do my studies at CentraleSupélec cost?

The cost of studies at CentraleSupélec is made up of 2 main items :

Registration fees, to which is added the Student and Campus Life Contribution (about a hundred euros each year).

The payment of the registration fees must be made no later than December 31, 2025.

What are modulated registration fees, and who are they for?

Starting from the 2026/2027 academic year, registration fees for first-time European entrants in engineering programs are adjusted according to the financial situation of the tax household. 

Modulated registration fees may also apply to non-European students if their situations fall within the list of special cases to be checked here 

When registering, CentraleSupélec will not yet know their situation. The non-European rate (€6,180) will therefore be displayed by default in the online registration file.

Students wishing to benefit from the modulated rate must send their supporting documents to the Students Welcome Desk by email or submit them directly to the SWD office.

How much will you pay?

The fees depend on your income:

• ✅ €0 → if you are a scholarship holder
• 💸 €2,500 to €5,000 / year → depending on income

👉 The lower the income, the less you pay.

How is it calculated?

We use this simple formula: Reference taxable income ÷ number of shares

Your situation matters

Depending on your case, the income taken into account changes:

• 👤 You are independent → your income
• 👨‍👩‍👧 You are attached to your parents → their income
• 💔 Separated/divorced parents → parent who has you as a dependent
• 👩‍👧 Single parent → income of the concerned parent

📌 This calculation is made based on your tax notice (or that of your parents).

Which documents to provide?

You must provide the following documents:

• 📑 Your tax notice (or that of your parents)

Depending on your situation, you may also be asked for:

• CAF certificates
• residence permit
• Income tax return showing the name and first name of the student attached to the parental tax household
• translated documents (if income is abroad)

Check the list of supporting documents in the registration fees tab for engineers

Important

Without supporting documents you will pay the maximum rate (€5,000)

The amount is set when you enter and remains the same for the rest of your studies 

Crous and BGF scholarship students remain exempt upon presentation of supporting documents
