Course recommendations
Be aware that in France, at least in public universities like this one, the teaching methods are based on students taking notes in class and then learning them by heart, only to regurgitate as much as they remember for exams... Over the course of my 3-year bachelor, I only bought a handful of books, and these weren't even required reading but only books that I bought on my own initiative. This means that it's exceedingly cheap to study here, but also that you (a) can't skip any classes (or you won't have anything to study for exams!) and (b) if you didn't understand things during class, you have no books to consult... On a more positive note, UT1 has a university library that was completely refurbished in 2002 or so, so it's pretty up to date and has a decently sized collection. Therefore, you can usually get by simply by borrowing books, saving you a lot of money. And if you do end up buying books, then you'll be happy to note that books in France are exceedingly cheap compared to just about any other Western society I can think of. This only goes for French books, though!

Personal comments
Every class has a final exam that counts for 95 to 100% of your final grade, so make sure you're not having a bad day during exams, or your grades will suffer regardless of your efforts throughout the semester! Personally I also got fed up with having to learn everything by heart and not having any books to deepen my knowledge in (you're basically at the complete mercy of your teachers as regards what you learn etc. Hence the personal opinion of the teacher can have a big impact on what you end up knowing about a particular topic!) Also, since France can be pretty elitist, there is a huge "power distance" between professors and students. Hence, the only chance you have to ask individual questions to your teacher is directly after a lecture, and even then you shouldn't expect much help... Because of this, working in groups with friends becomes more important than ever.

“Practical and rigorous teaching in "La Ville Rose"”
Alan J
France,
Law, International, 2024
Overall
Interesting, practice-oriented lessons. Involved, rigorous and passionate teachers. A highly internationalized education, half in a foreign language and offering prestigious opportunities abroad. The infrastructures are correct, in the process of modernization. However, the international aspect and attractiveness abroad still needs to be developed.

“Why Toulouse Capitole 1?”
Fadil A
France, Graduate
Management Science, 2021
Overall
The university is known for the quality of its courses. I've had the opportunity to study there for 3 years now. The administration might take some time to process the inquires. However, the teachers are well qualified, the sites are rich of utilities, and it has an easy access as a plus, since the university is located 200m of the city center, of the beautiful city that is Toulouse.

“Bon niveau d'enseignement”
Talia A
France, Undergraduate
Law, 2019
Overall
Très bonne université avec de bons professeurs et un personnel administratif à l'écoute. Cependant, l'enseignement est dispensé de manière exclusivement théorique. Or, comme nous l'ont montré les universités étrangère il y a pleins de façon de faire participer les étudiants et les faire apprendre de manière interactive Ex: Cour fictive, présentation orale, etc.
