International Study – GT-Lorraine for Graduate Students

The Best of Both Worlds … a GT Campus In the Heart of Europe

Metz, the capital of the Lorraine Region, has been at the crossroads of Western Europe since Roman times. For centuries, roads and waterways have linked Metz to destinations such as Paris, Luxembourg, Brussels, London, Strasbourg, Frankfurt, Switzerland and Amsterdam. Now, high-speed train lines and airports make much of Europe conveniently accessible from Metz. The once-fortified city, situated along the beautiful Moselle river, is home to the oldest church in France—the 4th century Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains—a vibrant city center, two medieval cathedrals, all the trappings of a modern city of 120,000 inhabitants, and a fascinating mix of French and German architecture and culture.

Georgia Tech-Lorraine offers an extensive graduate program. Lectures are delivered in English by Georgia Tech professors. These programs lead to the designated master's degrees (MSCS, MSECE and MSME), the undesignated master's (MS) and the Ph.D. degree from Georgia Tech. Cooperative agreements with local partner institutions also enable GTL graduate students to pursue dual degrees in engineering and sciences, in addition to degrees from Georgia Tech. Finally, graduate students have the option to attend Georgia Tech-Lorraine for one or more semesters while pursuing their Georgia Tech MS degree.

GTL '2/1' option

Qualified applicants to the Master’s program in Computer Science have a unique opportunity to gain international experience by participating in the Georgia Tech Lorraine 2/1 option. As an alternative to traditional enrollment at the Georgia Tech Atlanta campus for MSCS coursework, a limited number of highly qualified applicants will be initially admitted to the Georgia Tech-Lorraine campus in Metz France, where they will spend their first two semesters. Their third and final semester will be completed at the Atlanta campus, where students will receive the same MSCS degree as if they had attended the Atlanta campus for all three semesters. If you are interested in attending the GT Lorraine campus under the GTL 2/1 option, please indicate that preference on your application.

Additionally, in years when the number of quality applicants for the MSCS program exceeds our capacity at the Georgia Tech Atlanta campus, we will admit a limited number of highly qualified applicants to Georgia Tech Lorraine. Under these circumstances, preferential admission for those students who cannot be admitted and enrolled in the Georgia Tech Atlanta campus will be given to those qualified MSCS applicants indicating their interest in attending the Georgia Tech-Lorraine campus under the GTL 2/1 option as their second choice. For consideration under this alternative, please indicate this on your application and email Julie Williams at juliew [at] cc [dot] gatech [dot] edu with your name, and student ID number, indicating your interest. Students admitted to Georgia Tech-Lorraine under these circumstances will then follow the GTL 2/1 format, spending two semesters at Georgia Tech-Lorraine and their third semester in Atlanta.
