TBS Education continues its development with a new campus in Paris, at 13, rue Saint Lambert, in the 15th district.
This new 5,000 m² campus, housed in a former Parisian high school, will have bright classrooms, work rooms, a documentation center, an incubator/coworking space, and 2 amphitheaters, all organized around a tree-lined courtyard of nearly 1,000 m², which will allow students to relax in a quiet space, but also be able to organize festive and cultural events.
“TBS Education is in the process of boosting its attractiveness and our real estate projects are part of our new approach to educational well-being. We are committed to accommodating a greater number of students in premises that reflect our vision of the management school of the future, and that enhance student experience and well-being. We design and build our campuses in cities brimming with professional opportunities so that our students can achieve their full potential”.— Stéphanie LAVIGNE, Managing Director of TBS Education

We design and build our campuses in cities brimming with professional opportunities so that our students can achieve their full potential”.
The building will be completely renovated, with different phases of work aimed at meeting thermal and regulatory standards, and creating classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art tools. Student well-being will be at the heart of the renovations. This new campus will therefore be a space that’s genuinely conducive to student life.
This campus will offer all our French and international students the opportunity to be right in the heart of the French capital, a major economic centre for Europe and the world, close to the biggest French and international companies. It will also allow our students to join the powerful network of 10,000 TBS Education alumni and thus develop their employability.
Already operating on our three permanent campuses, Toulouse-Entiore, Barcelona and Casablanca, and in strong demand, the TBS Education Bachelor’s program will be moving to Paris in September 2023 and will welcome about 100 students:
“2022 is a year full of new developments for the Bachelor’s program. I am proud to announce the opening of our Bachelor’s program in Paris at the beginning of the 2023 academic year, as well as the creation of a new work-study program focusing on Distribution and Commerce. In total, we plan to welcome about 100 students and aim to strengthen our work-study opportunities. Beyond the quality of student life that this new central Paris campus will offer, and the advantages of the TBS Education Bachelor’s degree that are already well-known (academic excellence in a highly international and professionalizing environment), the launch of this program in Paris opens up even more possibilities for our students. Living and studying in one of the world’s most important capitals, close to the largest companies and to our Alumni, represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”— Patricia Bournet, Director of the TBS Education Bachelor program

Driven by a unique strategy rolled out since 2021, TBS Education has set itself bold and inspiring development objectives: to prioritize educational well-being, to enhance the employability of its learners, and to maximize its societal impact on local areas. To achieve its objectives, TBS Education will draw on brand new campuses, an expert and renowned faculty, new training and employability models, and a stronger international presence.
TBS Education campuses are living spaces that bring together learning, academic, research, business, entrepreneurial and civic communities. The school’s students thrive on eco-responsible campuses, where conditions are in place to encourage personal transformation and optimum learning. By 2026, the 4 sites – Toulouse, Barcelona, Casablanca, and Paris – will be equipped with new inspiring buildings to fully integrate into a world in transition. TBS Education is committed to “academic well-being”: the school is an educational innovation laboratory that constantly introduces new knowledge, new teaching methods and tools for a better learning experience. Mirroring its innovative project, Inspiring Guest, which has won national and international awards, the school has introduced humor to stimulate learning.
The school’s four campuses will be connected to companies and socio-economic partners to cultivate entrepreneurial spirit, foster local innovation, and share knowledge. Designed to have a positive societal impact and to offer its own experiential learning, they will be resolutely open, inspiring, innovative, and committed.
TBS Education is located in Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona and Casablanca. We place our students at the heart of what Europe does best in terms of technological innovation, economic dynamics, and quality of life. The campuses are ideally located in the city center.
This means less time wasted and more time for living! Close to our campuses, our students can find:
The Paris campus offers students on the Master in Management program the chance to do the Master 1 and Master 2 as in apprenticeship course.

“Don’t push yourself down, just push the boundaries”. Here is Prof. Soumyadeb Chowdhury’s (Prof. Soum, to his students) piece of advice to prospective students. Head of the TBS Education Center of Excellence on Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility, he is a multiple-time and student-favourite lecturer of TBS Education Summer School.
A former international student and expat himself – having studied in India, England, Scotland and, now working in France – Prof. Chowdhury believes “students should open themselves to the world of possibilities and opportunities beyond their comfort zone […] The TBS Education Summer School provides students with all these opportunities to go beyond traditional classroom experiences and explore the world of possibilities.” The balance between academics, corporate experience as well as social and cultural visits is a key element in the program that allow students to upskill themselves on a personal and professional front.
Prof. Soum’s class, AI driven Sustainable Business Operation, covered how the interplay between AI and emerging technology trends, such as Blockchain or Metaverse, helps achieve Sustainability Development Goals from both business and society perspective. In each session, students greatly appreciated his class. How does Prof Soum’s course remain a fan-favourite? To quote him: “Teaching is an art which requires creative act. Just like an artist, I as a teacher aim to select tools, methods, and interventions for creating facilitating conditions where students can learn and engage most effectively.” Two other important aspects of his teaching are taking into account students’ interest and needs in deciding some sessions content and, practice research informed teaching – “drawing from latest research and industry practitioners’ findings to provide students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding bridging the gap between theory and practice.”
Thank you to those students who dared to “Learn, Unlearn and Relearn” through this unique opportunity that is the TBS Education Summer School, where engaging in conversations and discussion with students [and professors] from different countries, cultural background, perspective and generation are just some of the highlights this program has to offer.
TBS Education Summer School is not all about academics! Getting up close and personal with companies and business professionals in various industries are an essential element to the TBS Education Summer School experience. This year, participants of the Summer School got the chance to visit the world’s largest airliner manufacturer, Airbus, and check out the final assembly line while learning about this iconic French company that has dominated the skies for decades.
Next on the list was a comprehensive visit of IoT Valley. Here, students learned about the flourishing ecosystem created for and by seasoned entrepreneurs and budding start-ups. Students got the chance to meet start-uppers and get first-hand account of their experience and learn about what it takes to turn promising ideas into profitable realities. First up was Stéphane LOISEAU, TBS Education alumni & founder of Owley, a company providing turnkey solutions for clients to recover people (search and rescue missions) or track lost and stolen assets in any situation. The second startupper students met with was Guillaume DUVEAU, CTO of Doorinsider, an online marketplace helping real estate agencies to implement 3D solutions and integrate the latest technologies to enhance customers’ experience.
In addition to company visits, students also had the opportunity to learn about other industries, through Expert Talks. Here, experts in various fields came to TBS Education to share and impart their industry knowledge and personal stories of how they were able to make it in their fields. Entrepreneurs, such as Jehan DE WOILLEMONT, eighth generation wine maker from Chateau de Marmorières, not only shared his know-how of the wine industry, but also provided tastings for students of some of his most prized bottles. Additionally, our students were also treated to a visit to the Ernest Wallon Stadium of the iconic Stade Toulousain rugby team here in Toulouse. After the visit, students took part in an Expert Talk with Frédérique DELAGE, senior strategy and digital expert in the Sports and Entertainment industries who focused on international sports event management including the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024. TBS Education is grateful for its vast and inspiring network of companies that provide the opportunity for our students to experience real-world knowledge and insights into the business world; a cornerstone for our students’ professional and personal development.
Our P20 delegates all specializing in Aviation, had a busy and fruitful week in both Paris and Brussels, working on the “dual use of aviation as both a civilian and a military asset”.
One of the highlights of that week was a visit to the EU Commission in Brussels where insightful presentations were shared by EU Commission experts on the political executive of the European Union and on the European Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid Operations.
Then, a visit to the EU Parliament in plenary session gave our P20 delegates the opportunity to hear live, the Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković addressing Parliament.This speech was followed by a round of interventions by EU political group leaders before MEPs discussed the European Union and its future prospects.
Quite an eventful journey and a fairly busy weekly schedule for our TBS GEMBA delegates!
From the 4th to 8th April, TBS organized the “No impact Week” to raise awareness among the TBS Community on the impact we have at work and on our daily life.
No impact means living in a globalized world with the understanding that all our actions have an inevitable impact on the planet. At a time in which the ecological question is more prevalent on the international scene, we need to rethink our way of living, thinking and acting. TBS trains managers to do just that!
Travelling with minimal impact on the planet, that’s the challenge, Laurent, a TBS alumnus, and his impressive family of five, set out for themselves in 2022.
Ourgoal was simple. We wanted to ride across Europe (25 000 kms) on two electric bikes, surviving on 10 euros each a day. Laurent, a TBS alumnus
Ourgoal was simple. We wanted to ride across Europe (25 000 kms) on two electric bikes, surviving on 10 euros each a day.
The idea is centered around presenting the beauty of the world to their three kids without impacting nature along the way and, at the same time, learning how nature is designed and how it functions in symbiosis with its surroundings. By showing nature respect, travelling with resilience, and stepping out their comfort zone, this young family of five are truly embarking on an inspirational ecological journey.
The family is totally autonomous with solar batteries, tents and all camping necessities. This is a way of life, a state of mind and a way to plant a seed in their children’s’ mind and allow them to experience the real world and learn to appreciate and preserve it; how to reduce the global impact as well as the human impact.
More than a journey with a destination, this adventure is about taking the time to enjoy and admire the natural world at their own pace without a fixed itinerary to follow. Slowing down and taking time to fully embrace each place; this is a central element to the human aspect of their collective journey.
A very inspiring story that gives us the chance to think about our own ecological footprint and the changes we could implement in our daily actions, big or small, by preserving our environment and future generations. Nothing is impossible.

Until now, digital transformation has never been so important. More and more companies are seeking to adapt to this digital change, where their transformation is vital to survive in a world that is constantly globalizing. The MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation program is born at the TBS Education campus in Barcelona.
According to Kai Bender, market leader for Germany/Austria at global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, in a Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey says: “The COVID pandemic has greatly boosted transformation projects. When it became impossible to interact with customers analogically, the extension of digital services became a key issue.”
In recent years, digital transformation has become a buzzword among business leaders. According to a Gartner study, “79% of business strategists said they have digitized their businesses to generate new revenue streams.” This evidences the importance of generating new transformation initiatives, which go hand in hand with the digital change needed.
Today Barcelona is considered a digital hub in southern Europe, largely due to the consolidated system of start-ups and the large number of events that revolve around the digital universe that the city hosts. A good example is the Mobile World Congress, which generates the interest of large corporations from various sectors seeking to open innovation centers of global impact.
Therefore, the MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation is the perfect opportunity to test in a professional way what is happening in the business sector and in turn learn to help companies to create business processes and possible new ways of adapting to technological changes. In addition, there is the opportunity to work on real cases, in collaboration with professional experts in the sector, who will guide in a more accurate way how business innovation is carried out.
The MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation program, which is taught on-site and entirely in English at the Barcelona campus of TBS Education, has Roxana Ologeanu-Taddei, professor of information systems management, as program manager.
