In May 2025, participants in TBS Education’s Global Executive MBA experienced their second residency, marking a new immersive phase in their journey. After a successful first gathering in November 2024 on the Casablanca and Barcelona campuses, the learners flew to Asia for a week rich in discovery, learning and multiculturala encounters.
It was at Xiamen University in China that participants from the three partner institutions of the OneMBA program – FGV (Brazil), Xiamen University (China) and TBS Education (France) – came together. This reunion rekindled the spirit of promotion that began during the first residency, strengthening ties within the group and fostering an intense collaborative dynamic.
The first part of the week focused on courses in economics and data analysis, and visits to emblematic companies such as Xiamen Airlines, Schneider Electric and Genius Electronic Optical, which produces around a quarter of the world’s smartphone cameras, thanks to cutting-edge automation and robotics processes.
The second half of the residency took place in Seoul, at KUBS (Korea University Business School), where the students received a warm welcome and continued their exploration of Asia’s economic and technological fabric. The learners took part in modules on artificial intelligence, data analytics and visits to companies in the animated media sector with Naver Webtoon (digital platforms for manga and cartoon creators), as well as cosmetics with Amore Pacific.
This residency was shaped by a central theme: artificial intelligence, approached through academic, industrial and cultural prisms. Participants also benefited from a strong cultural immersion, discovering the richness of Chinese and Korean cultures through exchanges with local students and multiple visits.
After Asia, the next and final residency of the OneMBA 2024-2026 will take participants to Canada and Brazil, for a program conclusion that promises to be as inspiring as it is unique!
Starting in the 2025 academic year, students enrolled in the Bachelor in Management program will have the opportunity to graduate with dual degrees from TBS Education and the University of Galway in Ireland. Thanks to a newly signed partnership with this prestigious institution, the Bachelor program is taking another step in its international expansion strategy and continues to develop its dual degree offerings.
Each year, several third-year Bachelor students have the opportunity to complete a dual degree abroad at one of the seven partner universities available.
Further strengthening its international reach, the program has established a partnership with the University of Galway, recognized as Ireland’s top university. Accredited by AACSB, EFMD, and AMBA, it ranks within the 351-400 range of the prestigious Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
This partnership will allow three TBS Education Bachelor students to complete half of their curriculum at the University of Galway, entirely in English. This experience will enable them to enhance their language proficiency and deepen their understanding of this rapidly growing economic region while studying at a top-tier institution on a highly multicultural campus.
Students will choose a specialization from six key fields:
The curriculum will also include additional courses, such as “Ireland in the Global Economy”, Corporate Social Responsibility, Business Strategy, and Innovation, providing a comprehensive perspective on contemporary economic challenges.
Upon completion of their studies, students will graduate with the TBS Education Bachelor’s degree as well as the Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Galway—a significant advantage for pursuing top Master’s programs and boosting employability.
As the cultural capital of Ireland’s West, Galway is also known as one of the country’s most welcoming cities. With its stunning coastal landscapes and postcard-worthy scenery, it offers an outstanding quality of life and attracts thousands of students each year, making it one of Ireland’s most sought-after student destinations.
Additionally, Ireland has become a thriving hub for global tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft—GAFAM), creating numerous professional opportunities.
This new partnership aligns perfectly with TBS Education’s commitment to academic excellence and international openness, providing students with an excellent educational background and exceptional prospects for further studies or career opportunities that match their ambitions.
