Advantages of a small structure in a large university
GEA is a relatively small structure (around 300 students and 40 teachers in each sub-department) within the largest University of Toulouse. Paul Sabatier University has around 30,000 students, 2,500 professors, lecturers, instructors and researchers. Thus, you will get advantages of a small structure where you'll never be considered as one anonymous student among so many... you will also have access to the best infrastructures: libraries (including those inside Toulouse School of Economics), language labs and a large variety of sport infrastructures scattered on the Paul Sabatier campus, one of the largest campuses in France (125 hectares encompassing 3 metro stations).
Teaching in small groups with teachers from varied backgrounds: experienced secondary school teachers, university researchers (including Assistant Professors and Professors), consultants, chartered accountants and company managers. You will also take advantage of innovative teaching methods (simulations, games, group projects), on line courses and mandatory internships. Courses are mainly in French but some are also in English.
Advantages of a long experience in International Relations
GEA has been hosting foreign students: for a long time. We have partnered with ERASMUS for more than 25 years. Our ERASMUS agreements include Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, Slovenia, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Mexico, to name a few. Furthermore, we have developed International agreements to host students from Argentina, Canada, China, Gabon, Mexico, Morocco and Vietnam. As our students are always interested in new international opportunities, we are constantly looking for new agreements.
