Institut Universitaire de Langue et de Culture Françaises – Toulouse

The Institut Universitaire de Langue et de Culture Françaises is the French language institute of the Institut Catholique de Toulouse. At its Rue de la Fonderie campus, international learners study French in a university environment shared with students following other subjects. The institute offers an intensive general course during the academic year and a summer option that puts language and culture together.

Intensive French and summer study

The intensive course covers levels from A1 to C1 and schedules eighteen hours of teaching per week. Teaching is spread across the week, including Friday morning. This course is of interest to a learner seeking a regular block of French tuition, whether the immediate aim is to manage daily life in Toulouse or prepare for further study in French. Individual lessons offer another format when a student has a more specific language need. The summer language and culture course combines tuition with cultural activities, so its programme differs from a week on the regular intensive course.

Finding the institute

The institute is based in building C2 at 31 Rue de la Fonderie. Use the building reference as well as the university street address when planning a first visit. For a shorter stay, compare the summer course dates with the regular intensive teaching calendar before choosing between the two.
