The '''Centralien Programme''' typically lasts three years and results in a master's degree, augmented with international experience. Thus undergraduate studies + the Centralien Programme account for more than a cumulated 300 [[European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System|ECTS]] credit in the European education system.

However, graduate students enrolled in the TIME double degree procedure are required to spend two-years at École Centrale de Lille and spend two years in the TIME-partner institute<ref name="time-association.org"/> for a total of four years resulting in a double master's degree.<ref>TIME double degree example : Graduate Engineer & Architect double degree requires two initial years at École Centrale de Lille to attend the core Centralien Programme and select appropriate electives related to architecture, then third and fourth years cursus is related to both Centrale Lille and the [http://www.fpms.ac.be/FPMsHome/en/ TIME partner institute]'s cursus in Architecture. The students then get both the Centralien Graduate engineer Master's degree and a Master's degree in Architecture from the partner institute, with a capability to work both as an engineer and an architect, in whole Europe</ref>

Not to mention that 18% students attending courses at École Centrale de Lille are international students, all students enrolled in the Centralien Programme have an international exposure with opportunities to perform industry training and internship in enterprises worldwide, study abroad for 1 year in selected partner institutes providing Master (M2) courses, or be part of the 2+2 year TIME double degree programme.

In addition to the Centralien Programme, École Centrale de Lille provides a range of master's degree cursus in science and engineering that are opened to applicants who have completed their undergraduate studies in other institutes. Admission to Masters' second-year research cursus (M2R) is also possible for applicants who have performed their Master's first year (M1) in another institute and wish to focus on a research topic associated to Centrale Lille research labs.
