T.I.M.E. (Top International Managers in Engineering) is a consortium of 57 prestigious Faculties of Engineering and Polytechnics from all over the world that offers double degree courses in several branches of engineering.
The T.I.M.E. network promotes the high level and the international dimension of training and makes recent graduates competitive globally.
In addition to the Écoles Centrale Group, UniTrento has active agreements with the following universities / Schools: Ecole de Ponts Paris Tech (ENPC), Technische Universität Dresden, Technische Universität München, the Instituto Superior Tecnico de Lisboa.

The French Grandes Écoles are characterized by multidisciplinary study programs whose mission is to train engineers and people capable of facing the most diverse and complex challenges with an open approach, a global vision and a high management potential, thanks to the knowledge and skills acquired during the studies, in particular:

• extensive knowledge of numerous scientific and technical disciplines
• knowledge in other areas such as economics, social sciences, foreign languages and in the field of humanities
• soft skills, such as leadership, management and innovation, teamwork, and project-oriented work 

all brought into a consolidated corporate networking (internships, job fairs, conferences) that enable the young engineer to operate effectively in presence of present and future problems, with particular regard to sustainability, digitalisation, climate change, energy management.

Thanks to the Double Degree program, UniTrento students can directly access the Grande École three-year Diplôme d'Ingénieur (equivalent to the Italian master's degree). UniTrento students, therefore, have a privileged entry channel compared to French students who are required first to attend two years of "Classes préparatoires" after high school (mainly focused on the deepening of mathematics, physics and chemistry) and then to pass a very selective entry exam.
Besides, in Italy and abroad, a double degree is always an added value. Not only the experts say it, you just have to browse through the job offers to realize that companies and organizations are looking for international and open-minded profiles, able to work in multicultural and face ever new global challenges: these are the engineers of the future.

Graduates with dual qualifications can aspire to top positions in international companies also thanks to the strong connection with the business world and national and international awards (SNECMA, EADS, SIEMENS, RENAULT, BOUYGUES, EDF, NAVAL GROUP, etc.). Double degree students must do a 5-week internship at the end of the first year (option 1) or a thesis work (TFE-Travail de fin d'études) during the third year (option 2).

Students must have obtained all the credits of the 1st year of the Master's degree with a weighted average of at least 26/30

2 years, covered by UniTrento scholarship. The mobility starts in September. The mobility ends during the first year beyond the normal duration of the master's degree (i.e. first year "fuori corso").

The study plan must be approved by both university supervisors. 

Students will attend the second and third year of courses of the partner university, except at Centrale Nantes where they will attend first and third year courses.

During the third year, students will have to do an internship, which will be the basis for a thesis projet (TFE - Travail de Fin d'Études), from mid-April to mid-October tentatively.

You can find details on the mobility scheme in the downloads.

Most courses are delivered in French.

Students participating in the double degree program pay the tuition fees at UniTrento. 

The fourth semester of mobility abroad is dedicated to the preparation of the thesis project which consists in an internship (5-6 months) which can be carried out in a company or in a laboratory.
The thesis, written in English - possibly with a supervisor from both universities - must be defended at the destination Ecole Centrale, in the presence of a representative of UniTrento whenever possible.
