Founded in 1903 by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Toulouse, Toulouse Business School (TBS) has always been committed to excellence in the discharge of its mission. TBS is dedicated to providing its students with the analytical skills, professional networks and agility needed to adapt, innovate, and anticipate change. As part of an economic, cultural, and educational centre at the heart of Europe, students gain the knowledge and networks to succeed wherever their career takes them. 

With five campuses located in the heart of dynamic cities, such as Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona (Spain), Casablanca (Morocco) and London (UK), and alliances with top academic institutions and multinational corporations across the globe, TBS offers a broad core curriculum of undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The programs are taught in English, French and Spanish, and cover Business, Management, Finance, Marketing, and Aerospace Management. TBS is a proud member of the French Conférence des Grandes Ecoles, and amongst the prestigious 1% of business schools with the “triple crown” of international accreditations AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. 

Located in the south of France, and just over an hour’s flight or five and a half-hour train ride from Paris, Toulouse is the fourth largest city in France. It is the centre of the European aerospace industry with the headquarters of Airbus and CNES’s Toulouse Space Center (CST), the largest space centre in Europe. The city's unique architecture made of pinkish terracotta bricks, has earned Toulouse the nickname La Ville Rose (“The pink city”). Toulouse has two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Canal Du Midi and the Basilica of St. Sermin.

France, officially the French Republic or République Française, is a country in Western Europe bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Andorra, and Spain. The capital city of Paris is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban areas include Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille and Nice.

France has a population of around 65.1 million people, ranking 22nd in the world. The official language is French, but the central location of this country makes it likely that you’ll hear many different languages, and be understood perfectly well in English. France is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful and romantic countries in the world. It is also the world's most visited country with 86 million annual visitors - more than its own total population! International travellers flock to France to explore cultural centres such as Paris and Strasbourg, sample the fine foods and wines, enjoy the beaches and see the French Alps. If you have an interest in art, food, architecture, literature and fashion, Paris is a must-see. There are also many other cities such as Toulouse and Marseille that expand upon the attractions Paris has to offer, each with their own respective aesthetic. Despite France’s reputation for city life, approximately 80% of France is countryside, dotted with picturesque villages. You easily spend years trying to discover all France has to offer, however it’s worth remembering that when in France you will be just a short tunnel ride to the UK, and within easy reach of all Europe has to offer.

France, with its overseas territories, has 12 time zones, the largest number of any country. 'Le Procope' in Paris, which opened in 1694, is the oldest café or coffee shop in the world.
