Tarbes, a dynamic city with an exceptional environment
Tarbes is a city of human scale that welcomes nearly 6,000 students, making it the third largest university city in Occitanie.
In Tarbes, the cost of living is reasonable, allowing for a higher quality of life compared to larger cities while still being just as vibrant thanks to its amenities: sports complexes, restaurants, parks, cinemas, nightclubs, and leisure complexes (escape rooms, laser tag...).
Moreover, Tarbes benefits from an ideal location, being just 1 hour away from ski resorts (La Mongie, Cauterets, Luz Ardiden, Saint-Lary Soulan, Tourmalet...) and 1.5 hours from the Atlantic Ocean.
This makes it a place where everyone can find their happiness, both in summer and winter.

The campus brings together nearly 3,000 students who have the opportunity to engage in the associative life of the University of Technology.
Numerous associations are already active and aim to grow with the creation of UTTOP:
- sports associations,

All these activities promote the personal and social development of students.
