Institution Info
INSA-Toulouse, an engineering school
With eleven thousand alumni present in all economic sectors, the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées of Toulouse, an international, pluridisciplinary, state engineering school, is recognised for the excellence of its five-year education which attracts students of a high academic level and who have obtained excellent results at the Baccalaureat.
An education supported by top level research
INSA-Toulouse provides a range of 10 engineering specialisations, including computer sciences, civil engineering, mathematical engineering and biochemical engineering. Its courses, linked to the latest scientific advances, are supported by the activity of leading-edge research laboratories, backed by large industrial groups, for example in the fields of new materials for aeronautics, environmental protection techniques and nano-objects.
Innovative pedagogy for long-lasting learning
Throughout the course, the students are confronted with concrete, complex projects and problems on which they work in groups, with the help of teachers when requested. No questions, no lectures... is the principle behind this active learning approach, experimented by renowned universities in America and Northern Europe, and now advocated by UNESCO.
Engineers open to the world
The international dimension has been a priority for INSA since it opened and international sections have gradually been set up. On campus, one in five students is an international student.
INSA welcomes students with a range of profiles: students with a technological baccalaureat, students opting for a cooperative education alternating periods of academic study and industrial experience and continuing education students.
Being open to the world also involves the student´s commitment to the community which is highly valued and credited as part of the course.
The strength of networks
INSA-Toulouse is part of the INSA network, which brings together five engineering schools situated, in addition to Toulouse, in Lyon, Rennes, Rouen and Strasbourg, forming the largest pool of engineering graduates in France.
It is also part of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles (CGE), and a founder member of the PRES "Université de Toulouse".
