History
Toulouse University was the second university to be created in France in 1229, after the Sorbonne in 1200.
However, it is not quite right to talk about the University in France from the Ancien Régime to 1896, as these were only groups of independent Faculties as well as a number of « grandes écoles » in Paris.
Education
Toulouse 1 Capitole University is open to a large public and boasts a large portfolio of diplomas from baccalaureate level to Baccalaureate +8 years of studies in the fields of Law- Economics – Management.
Research
Université Toulouse 1 Capitole’s academic foundations initially started around Law and Political science but the campus has gone through major scientific diversification in the 60s, with the development of further research teams focusing on economics and management.
These relatively new research axes are now well known worldwide: the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) is world famous and the Toulouse School of Management - TSM is also renowned across borders. In the meantime, the Law Faculty still ranks first in France for the number of its students.Toulouse 1 Capitole University Scholarships
