Study Abroad Programs in Toulouse, France

While studying abroad in Toulouse, you’ll live la vie en rose in la ville rose (the pink city). Uniquely pink, terracotta brick buildings rise up around winding cobblestoned streets in Toulouse to create an idyllic environment to live and study abroad in. Its south western location, between the Canal du Midi and the Garonne River, means the temperate weather is perfect for a stroll through town year round. Named the best city in France for study abroad, there’s no better place to spend a summer or semester studying than Toulouse.

CIEE ensures safety and immersion

December 02, 2023by: India M.Program: CIEE Language + Culture in Toulouse, France
9

CIEE is a well-thought-out passage for students to experience diverse cultures and people who approach life differently than what they're accustomed to. CIEE makes a noticeable effort to ensure that the students studying abroad are engaged and immersed in the new environment that they're now immersed in. Ensuring that the students are fully aware and engaged with the changed and new environment around them is essential to creating the most fulfilling and transformative experience. With all the changes to the student's physical and social environment, there warrants an opportunity to expand on the grace granted to the student's physical well-being while embarking on such a transformative experience. When entering a new environment our bodies go through a variety of changes that if not nurtured properly can lead to greater physical and emotional issues down the road. CIEE's' attendance policy for a class is warranted to ensure they're engaged but is unforgiving if the student experiences any health complications

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Toulouse

Studying Abroad in Toulouse

With multiple universities, like the University of Toulouse, the Toulouse School of Business, and the Toulouse School of Economics, there are study abroad programs in Toulouse for any major available in both English and French. Literature, history, fashion design, and business are all popular areas of study in Toulouse; although, French is by far the most popular of all.

The French university experience varies from the university experience in the U.S. You may be used to taking anywhere from 12 to 15 credit hours a semester, with three credit hours per course, meaning you have classes two or three times a week for one hour at a time. At French universities, your classes will be set up similarly to a graduate school seminar, so you’ll meet once a week for a full two to three hours instead.

At the beginning of the semester, your prof (what you, and French students, will call your professor) will give you a syllabus, or calendrier, outlining the whole semester and providing you with due dates for assignments. Most of assignments will be in-class essays, but each course will require some sort of oral presentation or final paper called a redaction as well.

You do not necessarily need to be fluent, or have any level of proficiency, in French to study abroad in Toulouse, since many courses are offered in both English and French. However, most study abroad programs in Toulouse will include at least one language course, if you are not participating in an intensive language study. Even if your program doesn’t usually include a French language course, it is highly recommended that you take some sort of French language course, no matter your skill level, while studying abroad in Toulouse. Speaking French will help you make friends with other French students, and fully immerse yourself in the culture of Toulouse.
