Licence 1 - Licence 2 Économie

The goal of this “Licence” degree is to provide students with a strong foundation in Economics, a broad introduction to the social sciences and quantitative methods in the social sciences, and an intellectual education that will enable them to pursue graduate studies at the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) and its master’s programs, as well as other programs such as those offered by the Toulouse School of Management (TSM) (Master’s in Management).

This Licence program is designed for students who have continued to study Mathematics in their final year of high school. Career opportunities are diverse and varied, including roles such as economists, consultants, and research analysts.

If you possess:

• Curiosity,
• Strong abstract thinking skills and a taste for logical reasoning,
• A strong interest in Mathematics (see the concepts required for admission to the first year), which will serve as tools for economic analysis,
• Motivation for purely intellectual work,

Give yourself the best chance to succeed and join TSE! You can also review the school’s admission requirements and the recommended specialized courses and electives to ensure you’re well-prepared for admission. We invite you to test your math skills by taking this timed online quiz. It covers some basic concepts that you should have mastered by the end of high school.

Please note: The first year of Licence Économie also welcomes students from the preparatory classes for the Écoles Normales Supérieures (CPGE ENS Paris-Saclay D2) at Lycée Ozenne. A separate tutorial group (ENS Paris-Saclay track) will be available for these students.
