Georgia Tech Lorraine (GTL) is a campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Metz, France. Courses there are taught in English, with a few exceptions, and the faculty rotates in from the main campus in Atlanta. GTL is partnered with several French institutions, offering many research and coursework opportunities to students who participate. Georgia Tech Lorraine is known for a much-publicized lawsuit pertaining to the language used in advertisements; see Toubon Law.
GTL offers Masters' level courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Most of the GTL students participate in a double degree program with partner French schools for masters and PhD. Students spend 1-2 semesters in GTL and 1-2 semesters in the partner campus to earn the two 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.
