The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Toulouse or INSA Toulouse is a Grande École d'Ingénieurs, an engineering university, under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and Research and part of the INSA's network. It is part of the University of Toulouse since 2007.
INSA Toulouse's first mission is to train engineers, 500 graduate each year.
In 2002, INSA Toulouse decided to reform its structure to adapt to the European 3/5/8 system.
The new programme, better adapted to the social and economic environment, includes a one-year common core, two years of pre-specialization and two years of specialization.
A « Bachelor » (Bsc) degree is awarded after three years and a « Master » (Msc) degree after five years.
The selection level of the Insa Toulouse has greatly increased since the European reform, and it now makes the INSA Toulouse one of the most elitist universities in France, with an average grade at the Baccalauréat exam (highschool achievement exam) of 16,6/20, equivalent to the grades 1.0 or A in Anglo-Saxon countries.
INSA Toulouse offers master level degrees (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) in the following 8 specializations:
Note that other specializations are possible in the other INSAs (Lyon, Rennes, Rouen, Strasbourg).
