Toulouse INP official logo

Toulouse INP is a public engineering-focused institution based in Toulouse, in southwestern France.

It groups two preparatory programmes, three engineering schools (ENSAT, ENSEEIHT and ENSIACET) and one institute under a single umbrella, and it belongs to the Groupe INP network of public engineering schools. Students can follow the two-year Prépa des INP, which relies on continuous assessment and leads to one of the network's forty public engineering schools without a competitive entrance exam.

The institution also supports doctoral candidates and hosts research events and international scientific meetings. Internationalisation is a central part of its identity: it has held an Erasmus+ charter for 2021-2027, has taken part in the programme since 1987, and runs student, teacher and staff mobility, virtual exchange and cooperation projects.

Many partnership agreements link it to Latin America, South-East Asia and North Africa, and exchange schemes such as FITEC bring engineering students to and from Argentina, Brazil and MexiCo. Short summer schools and English-language masters complement the main curriculum.

The central administration is located on Allée Emile Monso in Toulouse.
