Arrive. Study. Find your first job.
Three structured programs to help international students settle in Toulouse, succeed in their first French semester, and — for the ones who want to stay — land their first job in France.
01 September & February
Welcome Months
A multi-week integration program for newly arrived international students. Three weeks of social events, practical workshops, and city orientation — so you finish week one knowing forty people and where to do your laundry.
- Welcome aperitif, city walks, and three thematic dinners
- Admin clinics: CAF, bank, social security, SIM cards
- Free for the first 200 sign-ups · €10 deposit
200+ students welcomed each cohort
02 Year-round
StudyBuddy
An academic buddy program that pairs incoming international students with local students in the same field. Your buddy answers the questions Google can't — which professor's exam is actually fair, which library has the good chairs.
- A buddy from your faculty, matched in two weeks
- Optional weekly study sessions, in person or remote
- Open to UT Capitole INP TBS TSM UT2J UT3
03 Year-round
