The two world-renowned higher education institutions of TSAAE are located in Toulouse, the European capital of aeronautics and space. The city earned its nickname due to its position as the leading city in Europe for aeronautical activities and for space activities, and the second worldwide.
The Toulouse metropolitan area hosts all the major names in the aerospace industry: Airbus, Alcatel Space, E.A.D.S., A.T.R., C.N.E.S., Latécoère, Liebherr Aerospace, Thales… More than 90,000 people work there across 600 companies related to this sector.
In addition to being a leader in its field, Toulouse was ranked the best student city in 2025 by Campus France and also the best city in France for living and studying according to L’Étudiant magazine, two benchmark institutions in French university life.
Toulouse is also the fourth-largest city in France in terms of student population, hosting over 140,000 students, including 20,000 international students, within a total population of more than 800,000.
TSAAE is therefore in the ideal location to study in aerospace and pursue a career in this field!
