The school as a whole, and not just a particular programme, is evaluated according to a number of criteria:

• the school's governance, strategy and resources,
• teaching programmes and staff, student services and personal development,
• the international dimension of the school, its students, teachers and programs,
• corporate relations,
• the school's contributions to the wider community.

Teaching that is rooted in state-of-the-art research

When students join Toulouse School of Management, they don’t just attend a school. They benefit from the expertise of one of the most prestigious centers for research in Management in France.

TSM-Research is one of four French research centers in management accredited by the CNRS (The French National Centre for Scientific Research) as a “Joint Research Unit”. This label has only been awarded to research centers in management belonging to the Ecole Polytechnique, HEC Paris, Paris-Dauphine University and IAE in Grenoble.

Commitment to international research

This distinction demonstrates the Center’s commitment to international research at the highest level.

There is a deep connection between the research center and the school at TSM. The 60 TSM academic researchers are involved in the design and teaching of TSM classes. Students enrolled in both initial and continuing education programmes benefit from teaching that is steeped in state-of-the-art research.

TSM Research is an active contributor to all subjects in management sciences: from finance to human resources management, as well as strategy, marketing, accounting and management control.

Faculty members have significant international experience and the opportunity to spend periods at various universities such as Carnegie Mellon (USA), London Business School (UK), Princeton (USA), and Wharton (USA).

A motto: The path ahead

"The TSM motto, "the path ahead," reflects the future that is in front of our students, which is full of opportunities, as well as their evolution to become caring, effective and responsible professionals. TSM supports its students on this path and provides them with a framework for their learning and personal development." Hervé Penan, TSM's Dean
