Language of tuition is French for most of the courses. Consequently, we ask
exchange students to reach a level B1 in French at least to be able to attend
courses properly.
A module of French as a Foreign Language is offered at the beginning of each
semester (30 hours in group).
In addition, you might also want to sign up for French courses within the
framework of the PRES "Université de Toulouse" (150€ per module). Please
contact Sarah PRINCE/Delphine SEGUI for more information: subscription
according to calendar and places (modules of 15 to 30 hours)
Some courses are taught in English (MSc Eurama, MSc AREM).

Grading system

PURPAN students). Local examinations are graded from 1 to 20, and translate into
ECTS grades as follows (see table below). However, to validate a course*, foreign
students must obtain at least 9,5/20. Some courses may not be graded but validated
based on attendance, and still be awarded credits.
* some courses may be compensated following Purpan’s compensation rules
0 – < 7,5
7,5 – < 9,5
9,5 – < 10,5
10,5 – < 11,5
