Course catalogue


The Course Catalogue (CCES) lists the most popular courses for international exchange students.
It is available here:       http://cces.univ-tours.fr/
The University of Tours offers more than 100 courses taught in English, that you may find by choosing the language of instruction on the catalogue filter.

The catalogue is updated regularly. Some courses do not appear yet, please ask your teacher coordinator for more information.

You can select any course, in all faculties (except those proposed by the Faculty of Medicine), provided that the academic coordinator and the professor teaching the course accept it, and that you possess a B2 level in French. We trust our partners to assess your proficiency level and therefore do not require a proof of language certification.


"Politique et Relations Internationales (PRI)" program

This programme is highly researched by international students wishing to develop their understanding of international relations. It is taught both in French (half of the cursus) and in English (the other half). Above all, it is a good way for international and French students to study together.
