On September 11, 2023, the Financial Times published its international ranking of Masters in Management. TBS Education moves up 13 places to rank among the world’s top Management Schools.

It also reflects the academic excellence of our Master in Management Program and the high level of expertise of our teaching staff.

An international ranking that speaks for its graduates
The Financial Times, the UK’s leading business and finance daily, publishes seven rankings a year of programs offered by international business schools, including Executive MBAs, Masters in Finance, Masters in Management and others.
Each year, the Financial Times ranks the world’s best Masters in Management programs. To build this top 100, the British daily relies mainly on the voices of graduates. Alumni are interviewed three years after the end of their studies, on criteria such as professional integration, career development and international mobility, as well as the faculty’s academic level, degree of internationalization and gender balance.
To compile its rankings, the Financial Times uses a wide range of criteria:
- average salary three years after graduation;
- employment rate three months after graduation;
- the ratio between the cost of education and students’ salaries;
- percentage of international students in the school;
- international student mobility and number of foreign professors;
- the percentage of women among both students and teaching staff;
- the reputation of the Research conducted by the School.
The aim of TBS Education’s Master in Management Program is to train future responsible managers, capable of implementing innovative projects that meet today’s sustainability challenges, with a real sense of collective intelligence.

OUR AMBITION: TO DEVELOP A SOCIAL POLICY THAT PROMOTES INCLUSION AND CONTRIBUTES TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Our diversity policy is backed by a network of players: institutions, partner associations and key individuals whose actions help support our commitment to inclusion and equal opportunity.
- A commitment to inclusion and diversity. In line with its social policy ambitions, TBS Education is a signatory of the CGE’s charter of commitment to inclusion and respect for diversity.
- Fighting discrimination: TBS Education is committed to combating sexual harassment and sexist, sexual and homophobic violence by setting up mechanisms for preventing, reporting and dealing with these situations. These initiatives apply to students as well as to the school’s staff.
- Diversity at TBS Education: Among the staff of TBS Education, the gender balance is 42.3% of women in the permanent faculty and more than 70% of the members of the management select committee are women. There is also a great diversity of nationalities within the school, with 51 people of foreign nationality from 28 different countries.
- Period poverty: According to a survey by the FAGE (Federation of Student Unions) in 2021, period poverty affects 1/3 of female students in France. A partnership was signed between our school, the student association PRISM and Fava Period Care Box to equip all our Toulouse campuses with free dispensers of 100% organic, eco-friendly and ethical menstrual protection.
- Gender equality: EQUAL.ID is a program designed to help women, men and organizations work together to change attitudes and behavior. This ambitious project fights stereotypes and raises students’ awareness of gender inequality in the workplace from the moment they start at TBS Education until they enter the workforce.
- STOP sexual and gender-based violence: The fight against all forms of discrimination and violence, particularly sexist and sexual violence, is at the heart of TBS Education’s values. It guarantees that everyone at the school is respected in all places and in all situations. Sexist and sexual violence (SGBV) can be broadly defined as comments, acts, or behaviors (physical or non-physical) that target a person’s sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity (sexism, harassment, sexual assault, rape, homophobia, transphobia).
HAPPY AT SCHOOL
Happy at School is a community of companies and schools that listen to and care about their stakeholders!
“HappyAtSchool” is a quality label that recognizes student fulfilment in higher education establishments.
The platform confers the “HappyAtSchool” quality label on the basis of student satisfaction surveys. Every year, it publishes a ranking highlighting the schools and universities that make a real effort to meet their students’ key expectations. This makes it easy to pick out students’ favorite schools where it’s great to study!
In 2022, TBS Education was ranked third.
How is the HappyIndex®AtSchool ranking score calculated?
Each student fills out a HappyIndex®AtSchool questionnaire when their school or student union carries out a survey. This 21-question questionnaire results in two scores:
- The average of the 21 questions, which is a score out of 5 and is called the “questionnaire score” or “score”.
- A recommendation rate, which is a % of students who answered “somewhat agree” or “strongly agree” to the question “I would recommend my school to a friend.”
- The questionnaire participation rate is also calculated as follows: number of students who responded / total number of students in the school.
The ranking score is equal to the “questionnaire score” multiplied by 2 and weighted by the participation rate and the recommendation rate:
- If the participation rate is greater than or equal to 30%, then the coefficient is 1. When this rate decreases, the coefficient decreases proportionally and lowers the questionnaire’s overall score.
- If the recommendation rate is greater than or equal to 70%, then the coefficient is 1. If this rate decreases, then the coefficient decreases proportionally and lowers the questionnaire score.
- The formula is as follows: 2 × HappyIndex × participation coefficient × recommendation coefficient
Students of the MSc Big Data, Marketing & Management and MSc Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics took part in this two-day challenge. They had to develop and present a solution in record time, with the support and supervision of experts from TNP Consultants and lecturers from TBS Education.
CONSOLIDATING OUR STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
The 5th edition of the Datathon kicked off on March 15 for 48 hours of intense competition!
Students from the MSc Big Data, Marketing & Management and the MSc Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics and, for the first time, students from the University of Galway, faced off for a new challenge.
They addressed a problem posed by our partner, TNP Consultants, a firm specializing in business consulting, which took on the role of client. The theme of this 2023 edition: fraud in the motor insurance industry.
Each year, the Datathon broadens our students’ horizons by putting them in contact with top firms from the world of Big Data and artificial intelligence, who set them a real-life challenge.
The Datathon is a genuine teaching tool that allows TBS Education’s students to put into practice the theoretical and technical skills they’ve acquired on the course. It also gives them the chance to deal with a complex, real-life situation in deliberately unusual conditions (strict time limits, in closed session) and to test their aptitude for working and problem-solving as a team.
During the Datathon, we expect to see the students behaving professionally and showing their capacity to deepen complex subjects. What’s more, collaborating with TBS Education means we can establish a win-win partnership while working on high value-added topics while making use of each other’s expertise.
Riyad Linoussi, Head Of UX & Innovation – PO, DATA & Transformation
Thanks to their training and to hands-on experience, students graduate from the course with a culture around Big Data and AI that enables them to solve operational problems and also become essential links in their firm’s decision-making chain.
Data has become an indispensable resource for companies and plays a critical role in their development and innovation strategies. The primary mission of our MSc programs is to develop in our students a new data DNA combining marketing, information technologies, statistical analysis and artificial intelligence.

MORE THAN 100 SPECIALIZATION OPTIONS ON OUR GRANDE ECOLE PROGRAM
100% of students on TBS Education’s Master in Management Program obtain a double degree each year.
Double degrees enrich TBS Education students’ skills and expertise in order to fulfil a double demand:
- a demand from companies seeking hybrid profiles: young graduates with multiple skills that are complementary or connected to the original degree and whose commitment and motivation have been confirmed by rigorous selection and a demanding course of study,
- a demand from students who see the options for complementary courses and double degrees as a distinctive criterion in their choice of school.
This means our students have the option of building a bespoke profile and gaining specific skills thanks to our choice of more than 100 double degrees:
- an MSc in their chosen field, to be pursued on one of our campuses in Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona or Casablanca,
- a degree delivered by one of TBS Education’s partner universities / schools in France or overseas,
- a Higher Degree in Accountancy and Management (DSCG, Diplôme Supérieur en Comptabilité et Gestion) in partnership with one of the big names in auditing (EY, KPMG, Mazars and PWC)
