The two-day contest saw students from schools in France, Norway and Ireland rise to the challenge of solving a business problem posed by partner company, TNP consultants. The contest, organized by TBS Education teaching staff and the Centre for Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, involved students from TBS Education’s MSc Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and the MSc Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s MSc in Informatics, and students on the University of Galway’s MSc Business Analytics program. Dataiku, a well-known provider of top notch data science platforms was also a partner of the event.
Datathon 2024
The expert business consulting firm TNP Consultants came up with the following challenge: implement a “credit scoring” tool to enable a company called “Prêt à dépenser” (“Ready to Spend”) to approve or reject a loan to a client.
The students also had to produce a video describing and explaining Artificial Intelligence.
This multi-country competition in English gave students a chance to develop their international network while working on a professional challenge that involved interacting with leading companies in the world of Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence.
“The Datathon is the perfect example of all the synergies that are happening in the perimeter of analytics and AI because it connects professors who are experts in analytics and AI, our two MSc programs in Analytics and AI, and it also connects with the industry.” Kevin Carillo.
How is the Datathon organized?
On the first day of the competition, students met on the TBS Education campus for a presentation of the competition and the business problem, then got working on their projects. The aim was to develop the best machine learning algorithm to make the most accurate predictions. Students also had the chance to take part in a Q&A session with Datathon partners and professors. Participants had until midnight to send in their pitch videos.
On the second day, after a debriefing by the teams, participants were able to continue working on their projects, and the 3 best projects then presented a pitch of their work.
The competition ended with an awards ceremony where the students shared social time with the professors and partners.
“What’s really important about Datathon is the development of students’ skills and the exponential learning component.” Jessica Chagnard.
3 challenges = 3 awards!
The Datathon includes 3 challenges, and therefore 3 awards:
- Best Presentation, for the quality of the pitch and project presentation
- Best Model, which rewards the technical quality of the group’s predictive algorithm.
- AI Master Challenge, based on the quality of the group’s final work.

The partnership agreement between the two establishments was signed on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, on the TBS Education campus. This agreement, renewed for the 3rd time, illustrates not only the strength of our partnership, but also our mutual commitment to academic excellence.
Long-term bonds between the two schools
The renewal of the partnership agreement between TBS Education and ICT represents a key milestone in the relationship between our two establishments. This is the third time the agreement has been renewed, testifying to the strong ties built up over the years and the shared ambition to continue the partnership. This partnership demonstrates a deep commitment to developing new projects and initiatives together.
A prep school/management school continuum
One of the special features of this collaboration is its illustration of the Prep school/Management School continuum. For the Grande École Program students, especially those from literary studies, this agreement offersa unique opportunity. During their time at TBS Education, our students can follow specialized courses in applied foreign languages, philosophy or cultural project management at the ICT.
This diversification of career paths is a real strength, enabling students to develop distinctive skills. This is just one of the 100 double degree options available to students on the TBS Education Grande Ecole Program, enabling them to build a profile and a career path adapted to their needs.
A multi-program approach
Another key feature of this partnership is its multi-program approach. While students in TBS Education’s Grande École Program have the option of enrolling in bachelor’s degrees offered by the ICT, ICT students can simultaneously obtain the Bachelor in Management degree from TBS Education. This approach encourages rich teaching and offers students great flexibility in building their academic careers.
In a strategic move to strengthen its teams, TBS Education is announcing the creation of a full-time Education Department, headed by Anne Rivière, accompanied by Jean-François Salies as Director of the full-time Education Department.
For Stéphanie Lavigne, Managing Director of TBS Education, “the new full-time education Department is excellent news for our Bachelor, Grande Ecole, MSc and DCG-DSCG programmes. With the creation of this programme-focused department, we want to strengthen the visibility of TBS Education by coordinating practices and pooling resources.”
A consolidated structure with the Initial Training Department
Anne Rivière and Jean-François Salies, who have been with TBS Education for 19 and 24 years respectively, held the positions of Director and Deputy Director of the Grande École Programme and Master of Sciences until February. Anne Rivière, who is now Director of the full-time education programme, shares her enthusiasm: “I’m proud to be continuing the collective drive to increase the visibility and attractiveness of our programmes, both in France and internationally. It will be a great challenge to write a new chapter together for the future students of TBS Education.”
Jean-François Salies, Director of Operations for Initial Training, added: “After many years of service to the Grande École programme, and in particular the last four working alongside Anne Rivière, it is a great honour to accompany her in this new challenge for Initial Training. With Patricia Bournet and Miguel Urdanoz, we will form a solid team capable of providing students with the best possible support in all our programmes.”
Ranked 10th in the 2024 list of post-prep business schools by Le Point last February, TBS Education has structured and strengthened its teams to offer courses that meet the ever-increasing expectations of learners and maintain a high level of quality.
Key figures in TBS Education for over 10 years
Miguel Urdanoz, the new Master of Management Director, holds a doctorate in economics from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and the Toulouse School of Economics. He joined TBS Education in 2010 as a professor of industrial organisation, logistics and technology. Committed to his academic department and to the school, he was Head of the Industrial Organisation, Logistics and Technology Department for six years.
Miguel Urdanoz will continue the work initiated by his predecessor, Anne Rivière, by focusing on the academic excellence of the Grande École Programme.
Miguel Urdanoz says: “It is an honour to become Director of the Master in Management, and I am fortunate to be doing so alongside Anne and the entire school team. The duality of my origins and my deep attachment to Toulouse fully embody the identity of our school, both local and international, in the service of diversity and inclusion.“
Patricia Bournet is now extending her responsibilities to international recruitment for initial training programmes, after a decade of dedicated involvement with the school. “I’m delighted to be contributing to the international development of the school that I know so well, and to bring my added value in terms of multicampus and intercultural management.“
Our Master in Management program has moved up one place in Le Point’s 2024 Master in Management ranking. It is now in 10th place and remains on an upward trajectory. Our school also distinguished itself in the ecological transition category, holding onto 2nd place.
This accolade testifies not only to the quality of our training program, but also to our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development, particularly in the context of our transition to a business for good.
A RANKING BASED ON SIX KEY CRITERIA
“Each school answered 60 questions online. The responses were cross-checked by a dedicated team who drew on figures from previous years, as well as on information supplied by specialist bodies : Commission d’évaluation des formations et diplômes de gestion (CEFDG), Conférence des grandes écoles (CGE), accreditation bodies, etc.”
Claire Lefebvre Le Point 02/15/2024
This ranking assesses 37 establishments on the basis of 60 questions and some 100 parameters covering six major themes:
- teaching and learning
- international
- professionalization
- selectivity
- research
- academic recognition
This general ranking is accompanied by a number of focuses, including one on business schools identified as the most committed to ecological transition. We are proud to be ranked second for the second year running.

TBS Education ranks fourth in the HappyIndex®AtSchool 2023 ranking, with a satisfaction score of 8.54, a recommendation rate of 85%, and has been awarded the HappyIndex®AtSchool ranking label.
The importance of students’ well-being within their school is crucial, and is widely represented in this ranking dedicated to students on the Master in Management and Bachelor in Management programs. The aim of this ranking is to assess in depth the quality of the academic and social experience offered to students enrolled on these programs.
As such, it highlights TBS Education’s commitment to placing student satisfaction and happiness at the heart of its educational programs, underlining the importance placed on the overall fulfillment of learners within these programs.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE “HAPPY AT SCHOOL” LABEL?
ChooseMyCompany oversees the HappyIndex®AtSchool label, which places the criteria of social performance and student fulfillment at the heart of its evaluation of schools. To obtain this label, three criteria must be met: participation rate, average satisfaction and recommendation rate. This recognition highlights the reality experienced within the school, as only students are asked to fill out the questionnaire.
The questionnaire covers a range of topics:
- Student life
- Confidence in the future
- Teaching methods
- Relationships with companies
- Environment (CSR)
- Learning environment
The HappyIndex®AtSchool ranking highlights the schools preferred by students, where the study experience is enjoyable. However, to guarantee the reliability and representativeness of their performance, the rate of participation in the survey and recommendation rate are taken into account.
The HappyIndex®AtSchool ranking is calculated by means of a 21-question questionnaire that each student can fill out as part of a survey carried out by his or her school. This questionnaire generates two values:
- The average of the 21 questions, expressed as a score out of 5
- A recommendation rate, representing the percentage of students who answered “somewhat agree” or “completely agree” to the question “I would recommend my school to a friend”.
WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY?
The Happy at School ranking and label reflect the reality of student life. In this year’s ranking, they specifically reflect the commitment to CSR on the Bachelor and Master 1 & 2 Grande École Programs of 2021/2022. Following massive student participation, several points of satisfaction are often cited.
– 90.8% of students are satisfied with the school’s environmental commitment
– 86.4% are satisfied with the societal and environmental issues integrated into teaching
– 85.3% are satisfied with the school’s community life, which is rich in extra-curricular projects
– 89% would recommend TBS Education to friends and family
Here are a few comments from students to illustrate the point:
“CSR and sustainable development courses”.
“The richness and variety of extracurricular activities, which are very formative”.
“The climate certification, which gives all students the opportunity to develop their knowledge of climate change issues”.
“The school’s good atmosphere”.
“The school’s ‘family’ atmosphere, both among students and with the teaching staff”.
“Commitments: CSR, equality, women, men…”
“The innovative teaching methods used and the fact that CSR is an integral part of the school’s values”.
“My school’s professional network and commitment to the environment and society”.
This recognition highlights the school’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), involving students and faculty alike.
