Overview

Toulouse, the capital city of the Occitanie region, is renowned for its student life and its bon vivre atmosphere. The University of Toulouse was founded in 1229 and only in 1968 it was divided into three campuses and that the former Mirail University was created. With five departments and four on-site institutes, UT2J has a wide variety of disciplines to offer. In addition, it has many campuses all over the region. UT2J has numerous exchange agreements with international universities and has approximately around 4,000 international students within its population. The UT2J has recently been completely renovated in order to provide students with the most modern facilities and up-to-date services to improve their learning experience. Students have access to many services on campus and can enjoy various activities.

Academics

Academics

Most courses are available to exchange students. The University also offers courses in English and French.

The DEFLE is the department of French language at the University Of Toulouse Jean Jaurès offering french classes.

Exchange students can choose all the courses under Licence 1, Licence 2, Licence 3, Master 1, Master 2, and DU (which means Diplôme universitaire in French).

There is no prerequisite level of French language necessary because students will be asked to pass a position language test, and then they will attend the right group for their french language level.

Exchange students can take courses taught in French if they are advanced enough (however, it's better if they have a B1 level, otherwise it may be difficult for them).

 

Courses taught in English at UT2J

UT2J offers a number of courses taught in English in various departments. The Department of English Studies (Département d’études du monde anglophone) is part of the Faculty of Arts, Languages and Civilizations (UFR Lettres, Langues et Civilisations étrangères). 


All courses are taught in English except for some of the department of English Studies, called "translation courses" in which French is also used. Most of our modules are interdisciplinary, so as to introduce students to a wide perspective on English, American and Commonwealth studies. 


The Department of History also offers courses taught in English in the bilingual B.A. of History (French and English). 

The Department of Modern Languages (LEA) focuses on languages in business and contemporary affairs and offers courses related to the English-speaking world.


Exchange students are able to pick whatever modules they want from year 1 to year 3 of our BA in English Studies and can also take first year modules of our Master in English Studies.

They are allowed, if they wish, to follow only part of the modules and can therefore choose which specific area(s) they want to study.
