History

In 1902, a mixed committee representing the Chamber of Commerce and the municipality of Toulouse, opened a year of preparation for the entrance examination for a future grande école. The ESC Toulouse was founded in 1903 by the Toulouse Chamber of Commerce and Industry and recognized as a Consular Higher Education Institution (EESC) by the Ministry of Education in France. The school's initial vocation was to respond to the needs of the local business community for able business administrators. In 1947, a competitive examination, the structure of which is common to the twelve French business schools (grandes écoles de commerce), was set up. In 1982, the first specialized postgraduate training courses for specialized master's degrees (bac + 5) from the Conférence des grandes écoles were awarded.

In 2013, ESC Toulouse changed its name to Toulouse Business School, and in 2016, TBS moved from a non-profit status to that of an EESC (Établissement d’Enseignement Supérieur Consulaire – Consular Higher Education Establishment).[11] In 2021, the name was changed to TBS Education to better reflect its multinational education and campuses.

Grande École System
School Coat of Arms (Blason Associations ESC Toulouse)

TBS Education is a Grande école, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, Grandes Écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process.[14][15][16] Alums go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in France.[17][18]

Although they are more expensive than public universities in France, Grandes Écoles typically have much smaller class sizes and student bodies, and many of their programs are taught in English. International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the Grandes Écoles. Many of the top ranked business schools in Europe are members of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), as is TBS, and out of the 250 business schools in France, only 39 are CGE members.[19][20]

Degrees from TBS are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles[21] and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) (French: Le Ministère de L'éducation Nationale).[22] TBS is further accredited by the elite international business school accrediting organizations and it holds the much coveted Triple accreditation: The European Foundation for Management Development (EQUIS),[7] The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB),[7] and Association of MBAs (AMBA)[7]

Business school rankings

In 2022,the Financial Times ranked TBS Education: 55th among European Business Schools, its Masters in Management 42nd, and its eMBA 41st.[23]

TBS Education has business and management schools in these cities: Toulouse,[24] Barcelona,[25] Casablanca,[26] and Paris.[27]

TBS is also founding member of the Federal University of Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées (French: Université fédérale de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées), the association of universities and higher education institutions (ComUE),[28] which is reconstituting the collective Université de Toulouse.[29] As a full-fledged member, TBS coordinates the training offers and the research and transfer strategies of 31 public university and research establishments within the Occitanie region, has its own budgetary allocation, and can issue diplomas. Among others, this membership includes all large campuses in Toulouse: Capitole University, Jean Jaurès, Paul Sabatier University, Sciences Po Toulouse, INSA Toulouse, ISAE-SUPAERO, as well as the 7 grandes écoles of the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse.[30] As a collective higher education structure, it is the fourth largest in France with over 130,000 students, faculty, and staff.[31]

Partnerships and alliances

Within the Université de Toulouse, TBS awards double-diplomas with: Science Po Toulouse (politics, international relations, public administration); ENAC (air transport and aeronautics management); IMT Mines Albi (Engineering-manager); INSA Toulouse (large industries and enterprises); and the public IAE Toulouse: Toulouse School of Management (Ph.D., management).[32] The TBS Research Centre also partners with doctoral programme students from the Toulouse School of Management, and serves on its board of directors.[33][34] Internationally, TBS partners with over 200 universities worldwide and several of its partners offer dual degrees.[35]
