Anne RIVIERE, Directrice de la Formation InitialeAt TBS Education, we place the educational wellbeing of our students at the heart of our considerations. This involves actions in several aeras: Educational innovation, student experience, new campuses… We guarantee an innovative and inspiring learning environment for everyone.

Anne RIVIERE, Director of Initial Training

Our ambition: to develop a scial polity that promotes inclusion and contributes to equal opportunity

Our diversity policy is supported by a network of institutions, partner associations and resource people, all contributing through their actions to our commitment to inclusion and equal opportunity.

  • Commitment to inclusion and diversity. In line with its ambitious social policy, TBS Education is a signatory to the CGE’s charter of commitment to inclusion and respect for diversity;
    • Combating discrimination: TBS Education is committed to preventing sexual harassment and sexist, sexual and homophobic violence by setting up initiatives to prevent, report and deal with such situations. These actions are aimed at both students and staff.
    • Diversity at TBS Education: In terms of TBS Education staff, the balance between men and women is 42.3% in the permanent faculty, and over 70% of the members of the restricted management committee are women. Nationality diversity within the school is also significant, with 51 foreign nationals from 28 different countries.
  • Period poverty: According to a 2021 FAGE survey, period poverty affects a third of female students in France. A partnership has been signed between our school, the PRISM student association and Fava, la box des protections intimes, to equip all our Toulouse campuses with free dispensers of 100% organic, eco-responsible and solidarity-based menstrual protection.
  • Equality between men and women: EQUAL.ID is a program designed to help women, men and organizations work together to improve mentalities and behavior. This ambitious project raises students’ awareness of gender inequality in the workplace and combats stereotypes, from the moment they enter TBS Education until they enter the job market.
  • STOP sexual and gender-based violence: At the heart of TBS Education’s values, the fight against all types of discrimination and violence, particularly sexist and sexual violence, must ensure that everyone at the school is respected everywhere and in every situation. Sexist and sexual violence (SGBV) can be defined very briefly 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).

What do our students think:

Student associations allow us to get involved in topics that interest us.”

It’s a school where we feel good, where everything is done to make our future a success

A very active alumni network that provides interesting opportunities and gives me a chance to talk about my future.”

Numerous international students within the school and option of studying abroad.”

The chance to develop an important professional network around the word.”

The kindness of the administration, and professors who help students make the best choices for their careers.”

Internship opportunities thanks to company networking events.”

The guest speakers give us a professional perspective, which is great.

Happy at School

Fighting gender inequality at work means going back to the source. Injustices often go back to the student experience, where they are more pronounced. School is more than just a place of learning, it’s the place where tomorrow’s professionals are forged.

“HappyAtSchool” is a label that rewards student fulfillment in higher education.

The platform attributes the “HappyAtSchool” label based on a student satisfaction survey, and offers an annual ranking that highlights the schools and universities that make a real effort to meet the key expectations of their students, thus highlighting the schools that students prefer and where it’s good to study!

In 2023, TBS Education comes 4th in this ranking.

The methodological approach of the HappyAtSchool label convinced us of the importance of obtaining metrics to improve our learning environment, to better understand the needs and expectations of our students in order to implement specific initiatives and enhance their experience within their study path.

Obtaining this label enables applicants who are particularly sensitive to CSR issues on the one hand, and student wellbeing on the other, to easily recognize schools that, like us, have made these subjects part of their school model. In addition to the renewal of our label, we are proud to have been consistently well ranked among the top business schools , reflecting our commitment to well-being, environmental issues, social inclusiveness and equality between men and women… all issues to which our school has made a solid commitment in terms of pedagogy and associative projects.

How is the HappyIndex®AtSchool ranking calculated?

Every student can complete the HappyIndex®AtSchool survey on request from their school or student association.

This 21-questions survey calculates 2 values:

  • The average of the 21 questions gives a score /5, known as the “survey score”.
  • A recommendation rate, which is the percentage of students who answered, “somewhat agree” or “strongly agree” to the question “I would recommend my school to a friend to study at”.
  • The survey participation rate is also calculated as follows: number of students who responded / total number of students at the school.

The ranking score is equal to the “questionnaire score” multiplied by 2, then 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. As soon as this rate decreases, then the coefficient decreases proportionally and lowers the questionnaire 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 2 × HappyIndex × participation coefficient × recommendation coefficient

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 Pre-Experience Department, headed by Anne Rivière, accompanied by Jean-François Salies as Director of Pre-Experience Department.

For Stéphanie Lavigne, Dean & Director General of TBS Education, “the new Pre-Experience Department is excellent news for our Bachelor in Management, Master in Management, Master of Science 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 Pre-Experience 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 Master in Management Programme and Master of Sciences until February. Anne Rivière, who is now Director of the Pre-Experience 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 Pre-Experience Department, added: “After many years of service to the Master in Management programme, and in particular the last four working alongside Anne Rivière, it is a great honour to accompany her in this new challenge for Pre-Experience Department. 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 Master in Management 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 is delighted to announce its ambitious real estate project in Toulouse. This strategic plan, unanimously approved by the Board of Directors in December 2023, provides for a major overhaul of the Entiore and Lascrosses campuses, symbolising a significant transformation for our school.

A responsible and innovative project focused on the student experience

Following the suspension of the initial project to build the Compans-Caffarelli campus, TBS Education has reassessed its real estate options. The new project aims to be both responsible and innovative, seeking to consolidate activities in two emblematic buildings: Entiore and Lascrosses. This consolidation aims to strengthen the cohesion of the training courses, encourage collaboration and reduce operating costs.

The project also aims to increase intake capacity to meet growing student demand, while diversifying the school’s activities. Innovation in the design of the spaces, incorporating educational well-being, is at the heart of this initiative.

Pierre Hurstel, Chairman of TBS Education, said: “The unanimous decision of our Board of Directors reflects our collective commitment to a sustainable vision for TBS Education. By redefining our campus project, we are reaffirming our societal mission and our determination to provide a first-class educational environment.

Key dates and outlook

At the heart of this transformation, the Entiore campus in Quint-Fonsegrives is about to undergo an expansion, seeing its surface area double from 10,500 m2 to more than 20,000 m2, with an ambitious vision of potentially eventually reaching 30,000 m2. The available 10 hectares of land around the current Entiore buildings will be redeveloped to accommodate sports activities, shared gardens and outdoor spaces dedicated to events. This campus is destined to become the heart of the school’s activity. In addition, the creation of a student residence and accommodation for staff is currently being evaluated with the Toulouse Haute-Garonne Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

2024 marks the launch of this innovative project, with a call for tenders for project management assistance. Final handover is expected in 2028, marking the completion of an ambitious project and the start of a new chapter for TBS Education.

Each year, a jury made up of Aphec and HEADway Advisory meets to select the Director of the Year. In 2023, Stéphanie Lavigne, Managing Director of TBS Education, is the winner.

Stéphanie Lavigne, Managing Director of the school, was honoured by the L’Essentiel du Sup media at the start of 2024 for her work at TBS Education. She was awarded the prestigious prize of “Director of the Year” for this 7th edition.

“All our courses have integrated the UN’s sustainable development objectives after a review of their teaching models. Similarly, 40% of our research publications include the subject, and a centre of excellence brings together the professors concerned. To go even further, we have set up a Societal Transition Department to deal with issues of inclusion, environmental transition, living together and combating stereotypes. Stéphanie Lavigne, Managing Director of TBS Education.

This prize, awarded by a jury made up of L’Essentiel du Sup and APHEC (Association des professeurs des classes préparatoires économiques et commerciales), is recognition of the excellence of TBS Education as an institution in the field of higher education.

TBS Education is looking to the future to remain committed to pursuing its mission with excellence, openness, boldness, agility and responsibility.
