A Program Aligned with the New Expectations of Leaders

Beyond the numbers and accreditations, the 2025 Forbes ranking recognizes the TBS Education GEMBA for offering a demanding, international, and purpose-driven program that resonates with the evolution of contemporary leadership.

This success is rooted in the school’s very DNA. In 2022, TBS Education became a mission-driven company, joining the small group of global business schools holding triple accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). A member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles in France, TBS trains over 6,000 learners each year across its campuses in Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona, and Casablanca, in an educational environment that emphasizes well-being and cultural diversity (with over 120 nationalities represented).

The GEMBA reflects this international openness. Thanks to its integration into the prestigious OneMBA consortium, participants benefit from in-person residencies not only in France, Morocco, and Spain, but also in China, South Korea, Brazil, the United States, and optionally in Canada and India. This rare intercultural experience gives a truly global dimension to their skill development.

This international reach is also supported by a curriculum centered on key challenges in the professional world: ethical leadership, artificial intelligence, responsible innovation, and digital transformation. These components prepare future leaders to act with clarity, agility, and impact in an ever-changing global environment.

Growing Academic Recognition

In addition to Forbes, the Global Executive MBA continues to gain international visibility:
