YEAR 3
The third year is spent abroad at a partner university (Spain or Latin America). Students are placed according to their preferences and results. They are supervised by an academic advisor who validates their choice of courses.

They pay enrolment fees at UT Capitole (not at the partner university). They may benefit from mobility grants (grants, amounts and award criteria may change: please check the year before your mobility).

Students who receive a grant based on social criteria will keep their grant.

Here are some examples of mobility:


Teaching Methods and Resources:
For face-to-face courses, in addition to the traditional approach of a lecture combined with tutorials, students may be offered role-plays and practical case studies, all of which provide learning opportunities. These courses are taught in dedicated, well-equipped classrooms, lecture theatres and language laboratories. Students also have free access to a range of University resources, including computer rooms and the shared documentation service.
