Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a public university system formally adopting the name University of Toulouse as of early 2025, consolidating Toulouse III (Paul Sabatier), Capitole (UT1), and Jean Jaurès (UT2), along with schools like INP, ISAE-SUPAERO, ENAC, and others. Together, they span a broad academic, research, and engineering ecosystem and serve over 30,000 students with expertise across science, technology, health, humanities, and aerospace
The main campus sits in the Rangueil district in southern Toulouse, sprawling 652 acres and home to laboratories, teaching buildings, and student facilities. Some institutes and labs also exist in Tarbes, Castres, Auch, and even the Pic du Midi observatory. A local metro line serves stations like Université Paul‑Sabatier and Ramonville to ensure smooth transit between sites
It’s organized into Licences (Bachelor’s), Master’s, and Doctoral programs across disciplines. Academic units include departments in physics, computer science, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, earth and environmental sciences, as well as joint doctoral schools. This allows both in-depth specialization and strong interdisciplinary coordination
You’ll need your Bachelor’s diploma and full transcripts (translated into French), a syllabus or program description, a passport copy, CV and motivation letter (lettre de motivation)—typically in French—and proof of French language proficiency (at least DELF/TCF B2 or equivalent). Depending on your case, they may also request letters of recommendation or English scores if courses are in English.
Typically, you apply through the Études en France / Campus France system, though students from EU or certain partner countries may use Parcoursup. Once admitted, you receive an official offer letter and instructions, including housing procedures. Master’s Level 2 offers conclude by June, while Erasmus or exchange entries follow specific nomination timelines.
Yes. For example, the Eiffel Excellence scholarship requires applicants be below 27 years for Master’s and hold only non‑French nationality. Those already studying in France are typically ineligible for the Master’s track. Applications often must be submitted by December for the following year’s intake, via the university’s international relations office
The university employs trained security staff, CCTV monitoring, well-lit pathways, and emergency alert systems across campuses. Regular drills and safety awareness sessions (like first aid, fire exits) are organized to keep the campus secure and responsive to threats or emergencies.
Security teams coordinate closely with disability services to ensure accessible pathways, exam accommodations, behavioral awareness, and emergency plans tailored to those with mobility, sensory, or cognitive needs. It’s part of a system where inclusivity meets safety in practice.
An on-call emergency chain connects students to staff for medical, mental health, or privacy-related crises. For health concerns, the SIMPPS service includes nursing and psychological support. Security staff monitor after hours, and key buildings have access controls to minimize unauthorized entry—all aimed at maintaining a safe environment day and night.
You'll find programs in Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhDs across science, engineering, health, earth sciences, and business. Specialized courses include astrophysics, remote sensing, environmental science, AI, and aerospace engineering—aligned with regional strengths and international collaborations
There are some Master’s and engineering programs offered in English—especially in aerospace, digital sciences, or business. But most programs are taught in French, and proficiency at B2 level or higher is usually required, even for partial English-track programs
Through shared doctoral schools, integrated labs, and alliances like UNIVERSEH (space engineering with Erasmus+), students can engage in interdisciplinary study—crossing AI, health, environmental science—while having access to innovation hubs like Espace Clément Ader and associations with research powerhouses like CNRS and INRAE
Yes. The most notable is the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship, managed by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Campus France, available for outstanding Master’s and doctoral candidates in science, engineering, management, and ecology. You must be under the age limit, not already in France, and apply via a professor to secure backing before December deadlines
Public university fees are modest: for EU students around €180/year for Bachelor’s and €243/year for Master’s. Non‑EU students may pay between €2,770 and €4,270/year for undergraduate or postgraduate coursework, depending on program specifics. Financial aid or reduced government fees may apply based on country or exception status
Regional or institutional aid is possible. Students may be eligible for housing assistance via CAF, social grants, or emergency funds. Some programs offer partial support through departmental bursaries or Erasmus mobility grants. Student jobs and work-study placements (up to 20 hours/week for international students) can help supplement budgets—but cannot replace proof of funds for visas
Most international students apply for CROUS residences, located near major campuses like Rangueil. Monthly rent is low—around €200‑€300/month. Private rental options, shared flats, or independent studios cost more, from €350 to €600/month depending on size and location
After admission, the university sends a housing application link. CROUS spots are limited and prioritized for incoming, first-year, or financially vulnerable students. The Toul’Box service helps with applications, lease guidance, utility setup, and housing certificates needed for visas
Toulouse is student-friendly, affordable, and dynamic. It’s one of France’s largest university cities, nicknamed “La Ville Rose.” Public transport is reliable, with discounted “Pastel” cards for students. The city is well-connected for internships, cultural life, and outdoor adventures in Occitanie—near the Pyrenees or the Mediterranean shore
Yes. Students with a full-time Master’s or higher can apply for a “Passeport Talent – jeune diplômé/starter” residence permit or an extension after graduation. French law generally allows stays post-degree for job search or entrepreneurial pursuits, as long as you apply before your student status expires.
If you're not from the EU, you’ll need a long-stay student visa (VLS-TS) issued by Campus France and the French consulate. After arrival, it must be validated online or through OFII within three months. Apply at least 2–3 months ahead due to processing time. A housing certificate (often via Toul’Box or CROUS) is usually required to prove residency in your visa appointment
Yes—proof of sufficient funds is needed, typically via scholarships, savings, or family support. Neither part‑time work nor unpaid internships can count as financial proof for a visa. Your job or entrepreneurial project must align with your field of study and offer a viable path to employment or financing during the permit period
