Courses

CAGT members run a variety of undergraduate courses, hosted by the University Paul Sabatier Toulouse 3 either at the Faculty of Sciences and Engireening (FSI) or at the Faculties of Medecine, Maxillo-Facial Surgery and Pharmacy

Interested in medical studies ?

Pr Norbert Telmon is presenting the new options for accessing to medical school programms

Interested in anthropobiology ?

The University Paul Sabatier offers an Integrative Anthropobiology path as part of the Biology-Ecology-Evolution and Bio-Health graduate programmes, for both M1 and M2 levels. Anthropobiology M2 courses are also open to medical schools students or social sciences and humanities students.
