Georgia Tech Lorraine

Georgia Tech Lorraine

Georgia Tech Lorraine (GTL) is a campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Metz, France and plays a pivotal role in Georgia Tech's International Plan.

Courses

Courses there are taught in English, with a few exceptions. The faculty includes professors who are permanently assigned to GTL as well as professors who rotate in from the main campus in Atlanta. GTL offers Masters' level courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D.'s in Electrical and Computer Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering.

Most of the GTL students participate in a double degree program with partner French schools for masters and Ph.D. degrees. Students spend 1-2 semesters at GTL and 1-2 semesters at the partner campus to earn the two masters degrees in about two years. Students are required to learn French if they wish to participate in the double degree program. A three-month internship is a required part of the double degree program.

Most of the French students from partner institutions visit the Atlanta campus for a semester to complete their requirements. Certificate courses offered by the College of Management are a favorite among French students, which supposedly enhances their Grand Ecole education.

Research

GTL is partnered with several French institutions, offering many research and coursework opportunities to students who participate. In addition to the educational programs, GTL hosts the Unite Mixte Internationale 2958 Georgia Tech-CNRS laboratory which focuses on smart materials and secure communications.

Language

Georgia Tech Lorraine is known for a much-publicized lawsuit pertaining to the language used in advertisements; see Toubon Law.
