Toulouse School of Management joins the top-list of Business and Management schools by obtaining EQUIS accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD)

EQUIS, a guarantee of quality for the School and students

EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) is the highly esteemed international accreditation awarded by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). It is renowned as a leading certification for Business and Management schools and a guarantee of quality. This recognition is a testament to our dedication to excellence.

This rigorous peer-review process signifies TSM’s overall quality, sustainability, and our dedication to continuous improvement.

TSM now stands among the elite 207 Business and Management schools in the world holding EQUIS accreditation, with the distinction of being one of only 3 public institutions in France to have received this prestigious mark of recognition.

For our students, this accreditation provides an assurance of the value of their degrees and guarantees access to education founded on the highest level of academic rigor. Furthermore, it signifies our commitment to providing programmes that align with the ever-evolving needs of our society and the global job market.

A reward for continuity of commitment

Since the first EFMD accreditations obtained by TSM for the Master International Management, the Master in Finance and the Doctoral Programme, the School has maintained its commitment to quality teaching, innovative learning methods, internationalisation of its students and high-level international research.

“We are very pleased and proud to have been awarded EQUIS  accreditation, which testifies to our institution’s commitment to continuous   quality improvement. This result is above all due to the hard work of the TSM community: teachers, researchers, administrative staff, corporate and institutional partners and, of course, our students and alumni. The EQUIS accreditation makes us even more visible to our stakeholders, and in particular to international researchers and students. We see it as an encouragement to pursue TSM’s international development. We are delighted to be part of this network of  excellence, allowing us to share our   experiences and ambitions.” Hervé Penan, TSM’s Dean

Receiving the EQUIS accreditation should be seen as an encouragement to pursue our institution’s strategy, particularly in terms of international development, educational innovation and CSR commitment.

What sets TSM apart:

The Research: TSM is a leading School within a major research-intensive university.                              TSM Research (TSM-R) is one of only three French management sciences research centers accredited by the CNRS. Research is thus at the heart of the School’s development, and we are constantly striving to offer the best research conditions to our 60 teaching researchers, partners and students.

The professionalisation of programmes: Our programmes are designed in close collaboration with our partner companies, ensuring the relevance of our courses and meeting market demands.

TSM Alumni: The School’s professional network brings together 23000 experts, all graduates of TSM. The close links that the School maintains and develops with the alumni network are a relevant aspect of TSM’s proximity to the world of practice.
