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.”

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.

In a joint initiative to shape the future of education and industry, TBS Education and the APEM group have announced the launch of a chair dedicated to Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The 3-year agreement was signed in the presence of Stéphanie Lavigne, Managing Director of TBS Education, Thomas Henin, Group Marketing Director of APEM and Kevin Carillo, Head of the Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence and Business Analysis and Programme Director of the Master of Science Big Data, Marketing & Management at TBS Education.

AN INNOVATIVE COLLABORATION

This partnership is a pillar of innovation and of preparing students for today’s economic challenges.

This collaboration with APEM consolidates the integration of technological advances into the school’s educational programme, offering students an immersive experience that is relevant to their future professional careers.

This chair is the result of the convergence of APEM’s objectives in data processing and TBS Education’s expertise in this crucial field. The partnership provides for a number of mechanisms to support APEM’s innovation, including the contribution of Master’s students on practical cases proposed by the company.
