Opened in 1828, the ENVT is the oldest Grande École in Toulouse, and the school has trained more than a quarter of all veterinarians in France – over 15,000 graduates.

[5][6][7] Grandes Écoles typically they have much smaller class sizes and student bodies than public universities in France, and many of their programs are taught in English.

International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the Grandes Écoles.

[8][9] Degrees from ENVT are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles[10] and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) (French: Le Ministère de L'éducation Nationale).

[14] As a collective higher education structure, it is the fourth largest in France with over 130,000 students, faculty, and staff.
