Situated
between the Mediterranean
Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, in the heart of Southern France, the MidiPyrenees region has long been a major crossroads in Europe and a vibrant
cultural and intellectual melting pot. Toulouse, the capital of the region, has
been fast growing for many years, both demographically and economically.
Today, a genuinely international city, “la Ville Rose”, as it is affectionately
known, and the Midi-Pyrenees region also boast a particularly rich diverse
cultural and artistic heritage.
Some key figures :
Midi-Pyrenees
2 866 000 inhabitants
110,000 students in Albi, Auch, Cahors, Castres, Figeac, Foix,
Montauban, Rodez, Tarbes and Toulouse
Toulouse
440 000 inhabitants (Greater Toulouse : 656 000 inhabitants)
90,000 students
Toulouse counts 82% of the students and most of the research laboratories
of the Midi-Pyrenees region.

“Université de Toulouse”
The Cluster of Higher Education and Research was created in 2007. It gathers most higher
education and research institutions of the Midi-Pyrenees region. Thanks to the pooling
and sharing of resources, the universities and engineering schools actively participate in
common far-reaching projects in the areas of training and research.
“Université de Toulouse” aims to internationally promote the attractiveness of
Midi-Pyrenees and at providing all the international students, PhD students and researchers with the necessary help to adapt to their new environment.

Higher education
in France
> Universities and Schools of
Higher education
To be accepted into a French university, you must have either the French
baccalauréat (the end of secondary school diploma equivalent to British
A levels or the American high school diploma), or an equivalent foreign
diploma.
There are two types of institutions:
- universities offer degree programs in all fields (arts, health, human and
social sciences, science, technology..)
- schools of Higher education : schools of engineering, business schools,
Toulouse Higher School of Architecture, National Veterinary School of
Toulouse, Engineering School of Purpan…
> Organization of higher education
programs
European countries have adopted a new common system for higher
education in order to facilitate the recognition of diplomas and degrees and
students’ mobility:
- the “LMD” system: Bachelor’s (3 yrs), Master’s (5 yrs), PhD (8 yrs)
- a semester-based organization : 1 year = 2 semesters - degree programs organized into “Unité d’Enseignements” (UE) or teaching
units which can be either compulsory or elective. They include lectures,
tutorials, internships, dissertations.
- the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS): each UE corresponds to
a certain number of ECTS (1 semester = 30 ECTS)

Finding an
accommodation
www.univ-toulouse.fr/logement
> looking for an accomodation
Finding accommodation may well be a real challenge and should be undertaken
as early as possible; things are easier on the sites of Albi, Auch, Castres, Figeac,
Foix, Montauban, Rodez or Tarbes than in Toulouse which counts 90,000
students. Please keep in mind that proof of address is required by many
organizations (banks, Prefecture…) and some schools have their own halls of
residence on their campus.
> Students’accommodation
CROUS : 9 000 rooms and studios in Student Halls of Residence.
International students must apply to the International Relations Office of their host
institution (please note that second year Master’s degree and PhD students are given
top priority) or to the CROUS International Relations Office
During the academic year, CROUS may allocate the remaining available rooms directly.
Vacancies are available on line on the CROUS website.
