Main Entrance to the Arsenal

Founded in 1229, the Toulouse 1 Capitole University (Université Toulouse I Capitole) is one of the three universities of the city of Toulouse, in southwestern France. This university, presided by Hugues Kenfack, focuses on the social sciences (law, political science, economics, administration, etc.). Having signed approximately 260 partnership agreements[6] and strong relations with professional partners, the University of Toulouse I Capitole continues to develop a strategy of international university cooperation, notably Engage.eu. It is an active member of the Federal University of Toulouse

For many years, the city of Toulouse has been voted best student city in France.[7] The student population of the Toulouse I Capitole University is offered various opportunities for European and international mobility. The university has about 20 double degrees as well as several programs in other countries. Each year, approximately 500 students go abroad for study.

The University has obtained the Welcome to France label (3 stars).[8] This label guarantees a range of services adapted to international students, whether they are registered as individuals or on exchange programs. Each year, the university welcomes between 200 and 250 exchange students, and approximately 200 foreign students enrolled for the first time in a full course.

## History[edit]

Toulouse 1 Capitole University is one of the several so-called 'successor' institutions of the University of Toulouse, which was the second university created in France in 1229 after the Sorbonne was founded (around the year 1200). The university originally included four faculties: theology, canon law, civil law and Arts (grammar). The medical school was created in 1257. The University was closed in 1793 as the French Revolution abolished royal universities.

At the end of the Second Empire, the first four faculties co-existed, but the most important was the law school, which contained three-quarters of the students and the most renowned teachers. However, the University of Toulouse suffered due to underfunding of French higher education in province. In the 1880s Luis Liard and Ernest Lavisse gave enough autonomy to the faculties so the municipality could help those institutions. Yet the Edgar Faure laws divided the University into three establishments:

* Toulouse 1 University of Social Sciences (Law, Economy and Management);
* Toulouse 2 University of Literature and Human Sciences;
* Toulouse 3 University Paul Sabatier of Sciences and Health.

Only the Toulouse 1 University remains on the historical site of the town center. In September 2009, the Toulouse 1 University of Social Sciences became the Toulouse 1 Capitole University.

## Academics[edit]

Toulouse 1 Capitole educates more than 20,000 students every year, over 15% of which are international students.[1] Students may enroll in a Bachelors program directly after a obtaining a Baccalauréat, or the equivalent high school diploma for international students. Unlike the French Grandes écoles, public university education is open enrollment, tuition is often more affordable, and registration does not require attendance at a post-high school preparatory school (French: prépa or Classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles).[9][10] Degrees from French universities are recognized world-wide and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) (French: Le Ministère de L'éducation Nationale).[11]

The institution's academic priorities focus on three areas: international degrees, double-language degrees, and degrees with a high potential for professional integration.[12] The different academic disciplines of UT1 are:[1]

### Faculties[edit]

* Economics (Toulouse School of Economics)
* Business Administration and Management (Toulouse School of Management)
* Law and Political Science
* Administration and Communication
* Informatics
* Technology (University Institutes of Technology)

### Departments[edit]

* Institute of Judicial Studies
* European School of Law

### Instruction in English[edit]

The University offers a number of degree programs in management, economic, law, and technology taught in English-only.[4] Higher education degrees in France are organized into three levels thus facilitating international mobility: the Licence / Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees. A Bachelor's degree requires the completion of 180 ECTS credits; a Master's, requires an additional 120 ECTS credits.[13][14][15] In 2022, annual tuition for a Bachelors degree taught in English-only was: €262 (US$299) for students from anywhere in the world.[16]

## Location[edit]

Rodez Campus

Arsenal Campus

UT Capitole is located on four sites in the city center and in the cities of Montauban and Rodez. University buildings cover an area of 78,000 m2 and are available to 17,000 students. On the two sites of the Arsenal and the Anciennes Facultés, a 2 minutes' walk from Place du Capitole, are located most lecture halls and classrooms as well as the main library on the Toulouse campus.

In the city center, there are the Anciennes Facultés where the Toulouse School of Management is located, as well as amphitheaters and two libraries (the Garrigou library in the Anciennes Facultés and the Godechot library in the IEP). The Anciennes Facultés are located at 2, rue Albert-Lautmann.

Also in the city center, the Arsenal, where the Faculty of Law and Political Science and the European School of Law are located, and most of the amphitheaters and classrooms, as well as the university's administrative services. This site also includes the Arsenal library, the university's main library. The Arsenal is located at 2, rue du Doyen-Gabriel-Marty. The campus also houses the Arsenal university restaurant as well as student residences.

The Toulouse School of Economics is housed in a state-of-the-art building designed by the Grafton architectural firm and the Toulouse-Capitole University as part of a State-Region Plan Contract (CEPR). In March 2020, architects Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara were awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in recognition of the construction of great contemporary university buildings. In November 2020, TSE won the ''2020 Équerre d'Argent'' award, recognizing the best architectural productions in France.

Also in the center of Toulouse, the Manufacture des Tabacs, between the Garonne river and the Brienne canal is where most research and library centres are to be found. The Manufacture is located at 21, allée de Brienne and is situated on the other side of the Brienne canal from the two previously mentioned sites.

Two satellite campuses of the University Toulouse Capitole are located in Montauban and Rodez. In the city of Montauban, the University Center of Tarn-et-Garonne is located on Boulevard Montauriol, near the city center. The University of Toulouse 1 Capitole offers the full undergraduate degree in law at this site. There is a library and a university restaurant on the campus. The University Center of Montauban is unique in its human and dynamic size and offers an ideal setting for students to succeed in their higher education studies. The University Institute of Technology of Rodez (IUT) is located at 50 avenue de Bordeaux in Rodez, Aveyron. The IUT provides a 3-year university education, offering several Bachelor of Technology (BUT) or undergraduate degrees (Licences \- 3rd year), and emphasizing a technological approach combining theory and practice. The IUT has modern premises and equipment: 1 documentation center, 1 amphitheater, 1 technology hall, 2 learning labs, and 2 multimedia laboratories.

## Partnerships[edit]

Toulouse 1 Capitole University is a founding member of the Federal University of Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées (French: Université fédérale de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées), the association of universities and higher education institutions (ComUE),[20] which is reconstituting the collective Université de Toulouse.[21] Membership includes all large campuses in Toulouse: Jean Jaurès, Paul Sabatier University, Sciences Po Toulouse, INSA Toulouse, ISAE-SUPAERO, as well as the Grande école Toulouse Business School and the 7 Grandes écoles of the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse.[22] The university and Toulouse Business School (TBS) jointly award a EFMD-Accredited Ph.D. in management, faculty and students have access to the TBS Research Centre, and TBS research faculty serve on the board of directors.[23][24][25] As a collective higher education structure, the Federal University of Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées is the fourth largest in France with over 130,000 students, faculty, and staff.[26]

Since 2020, the University of Toulouse I Capitole is a member of the European University Engage.eu which aims to provide citizens and students with the necessary skills to meet the major societal challenges already underway (migration, aging population, digital transformation...). The aim of this project is to pool the skills and expertise of the different partners in order to provide high quality education, common curricula and increased student mobility, as well as a European research network. The consortium of this project is composed of six other universities: University of Mannheim (Germany), Luiss Guido Carli (Italy), NHH Norwegian School of Economics (Norway), Tilburg University (Netherlands), University of National and World Economy (Bulgaria), and Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria).

## Libraries and Learning Centers[edit]

The former Toulouse Tobacco Factory is fully renovated with classrooms, research centers, and a library center.

The University of Toulouse I Capitole Library is the heir to the former university library created in 1879. Initially an inter-university library, its social sciences section was constituted as a Collective Service of Documentation in 1995. It is now made up of four libraries spread across the university campus.

The Arsenal library, representative of the modern architectural movement(Brutalism), was built in 1972 by the architects Paul de Noyers and Noël Le Maresquier. It offers 900 reading places. In addition to the 45,000 volumes belonging to the prestigious old collection (end of the 19th century - middle of the 20th century) and the volumes inherited from the Law-Literature section, the collections are now specialized in the disciplines taught at the university.

In 1996, a 450-seat library was installed in the renovated premises of the former Toulouse Tobacco Factory, which is now listed as a historical monument.[27] Two other libraries make up Toulouse 1 Capitole's library facilities: the Garrigou library located in the heart of the historic building of the old Faculties and the Boutaric library. These libraries collaborate with the documentation centers of the university's teaching and research units.

In terms of written and documentary heritage, 300,000 e-books complete a collection of 440,000 printed works, theses and dissertations. Over 57,000 online journals are added to the 650 print journal subscriptions; while some 60 specialized databases allow for in-depth bibliographic research.

Between 2014 and 2016, the Arsenal and Manufacture des Tabacs libraries were reorganized as "learning centers" to offer collections, services and spaces in line with the new challenges of learning and knowledge in the 21st century.
