The Center of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics is hosting International AI Day on Thursday, April 9. This year’s theme is “Generative AI in Organizations: Challenges and Opportunities” and the event will feature presentations and discussions with academic and industry experts on the topic.
On Monday, December 9, 2025, TBS Education’s MSc Data Science & AI students faced their first real-world industrial challenge. Entrusted by APEM (Human-machine interface solutions company), the task pushed them to mobilize their technical skills, creativity, and analytical thinking under tight deadlines. Just five days later, on Friday, December 13th, these same students took to the stage to present fully functional AI agents to company representatives. Between those two dates? A demanding and stimulating week, driven by teamwork and technical challenges.
For the 2025 edition, APEM, a company specializing in human-machine interfaces and electrical components, tasked the MSc Data Science & AI students with a concrete problem: the generic images on their website were creating uncertainty among customers.“Clients don’t really know what they’re buying“, explains Nada, a Moroccan MSc student in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence.
The students’ mission? To develop AI agents capable of generating customized images that accurately reflect APEM’s products. Four teams of four to five students each, took on the challenge. Throughout the week, they worked with the technical data provided by the company, under the guidance of their professors, who helped steer their thinking and kept the projects on track.
Georges, a Cameroonian MSc student, summarizes the core of the project: “We had to create an AI agent that could retrieve all the information from the database they provided and then extend the model so that APEM could integrate it into their services.”
To help students tackle such an ambitious challenge, the Hackathon was designed as a fully guided journey. The first two days focused on project framing: understanding the company’s needs, analyzing the data, and establishing a clear methodology. “We had a precise schedule for the whole week. The first days were all about defining the objective before moving on to prototyping,” explains Nada.
From day three onwards, it was time for creation and execution: prototyping, prompt engineering, successive testing, and continuous adjustments. For Georges, this stage gave the event its true value: “The most interesting part was building the model itself. Even though we’re in a management school, it’s important to approach some processes from a more ‘engineering’ perspective.”
The final day capped off this intense week with preparation of presentations in the morning, followed by pitches to APEM representatives and professors in the afternoon.
For many participants, it was their first Hackathon – a memorable but challenging experience. Students don’t hide that the pace was demanding: “It was an intense project, but very rewarding. It required roughly two weeks of work, sometimes even in the evenings at home, but we’re all proud of the result. It was worth it!” says Nada.
Georges echoes this general feeling: “These five days were extremely intense. We’re exhausted, but proud to have seen it through.” Intensity is part of the learning process, designed to immerse students in the realities of professional life. Tight deadlines, delivery pressure, and the need to organize and collaborate effectively: these are all realities that the students had to face.
For Alessandra, an Italian exchange student, the Hackathon was above all a lesson in teamwork: “We learned to manage our time, prioritize tasks, and work as a team under pressure. It was an incredibly formative experience.”
After this extraordinary week, the students left with far more than technical skills or a completed project. Above all, they walked away with invaluable professional experience: working alongside a real company, understanding its challenges, devising innovative solutions, and presenting them to industry experts.
The event is a perfect example of TBS Education’s MSc Data Science & AI approach, blending academic rigor with hands-on practice and giving students a true taste of what it’s like to work in a fast-paced, real-world setting.
Asked about the MSc Data Science & Artificial Intelligence program, Georges didn’t hesitate: “Not to brag, but it’s the best program at TBS Education”. After five days of intensive work, his enthusiasm says it all about the value of this immersive experience.
Master in Management (MiM) or Master of Science (MSc): two prestigious degrees that often leave students wondering which path is right for them. While both programs lead to a Master’s degree recognized in France and internationally, they cater to different needs and profiles. TBS Education breaks down these two programs to help you make the choice that best aligns with your career goals.
The Master in Management (MiM), the international equivalent of the French Grande École Program, is one of the flagship programs of leading business schools worldwide. Designed for students with a bachelor’s degree, the program typically spans one to three years, depending on the year of entry and chosen pathway.
Discover the TBS Education Master in Management
1. A generalist approach
From the very first year, students gain comprehensive exposure to key business disciplines — including finance, marketing, strategy, human resources, and entrepreneurship. The program is not a rigid, pre-set path: the Master in Management allows students to explore different areas before choosing their specialization, which typically takes place in the final year, through numerous double-degree options. TBS Education offers over 100 double-degree options across our Toulouse, Paris, and Barcelona campuses, as well as through our 160 partner universities worldwide.
2. Academic excellence as a benchmark
Ranked among the top master’s programs in Europe (Financial Times and QS rankings), our Master in Management awards a state-recognized degree, acknowledged both in France and internationally. The program perfectly combines academic excellence with hands-on experience. Students benefit from rigorous teaching led by our expert faculty researchers and learn from external speakers — including industry experts and company leaders — for a learning experience grounded in real-world realities.
3. Student experience at the heart of the journey
The MiM offers far more than academic training: it provides a highly personalized learning journey. Between international exchanges across our three European campuses and our 160 partner universities worldwide, internships in France or abroad, gap years dedicated to personal projects and hands-on projects with companies like Airbus or L’Oréal, each student builds a unique path combining academic excellence with an international outlook.
Life on campus is just as vibrant, with more than 30 student associations covering culture, sports, entrepreneurship, and more. The MiM is far more than a degree: it’s an unforgettable personal and professional adventure where your future begins to take shape.
Voices from the MiM:
“I joined the Master in Management program at TBS Education in September 2024, and it has been an inspiring start to my journey. Coming from a bachelor’s in International Business in Rome, I was drawn to the program’s international reputation, triple accreditation, and opportunities for double degrees. I really value how the program lets students shape their own path through career services and a wide range of options during the last year. Beyond academics, student life is vibrant, with clubs and events making it easy to feel at home.” Leonardo Agresti, Italy, 2025 Master in Management student

These two paths aren’t mutually exclusive. TBS Education offers double-degree options, allowing you to combine the MiM’s versatility with the MSc’s specialized expertise. This combination, usually possible from the final year of the Master in Management, maximizes employability by providing both a broad strategic vision and highly sought-after technical expertise in the industry.
The decision mainly depends on three factors: your professional maturity, academic background, and aspirations for student experience.
If you have a clear vision of the career you want to pursue and already possess a solid foundational education, the MSc can propel you efficiently toward your goals. If you prefer to take the time to explore, experiment, and gradually build your path, the MiM offers the opportunity to develop your project thoughtfully.
Remember, your success will depend more on your dedication and the effort you put into your journey than on the degree itself. Both programs offer great opportunities: it’s up to you to choose the one that fits your goals and personality best.
