Toulouse University is the second oldest university in France. It was created in 1229, just after the Sorbonne which dates back to 1200. Université Toulouse 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.
