A school with a future since 1955

Since 1955, the IPA (Preparation Institute for Business Affairs – Institut de Préparation aux Affaires), then IAE Toulouse (Institute of Business Administration - Institut d’Administration des Entreprises) and today Toulouse School of Management - TSM, as part of the Toulouse Capitole University, continues to uphold its commitment to developing higher education and management research. By combining innovative teaching with quality scientific research, IAE Toulouse was able to meet and exceed students’ expectations by teaching them the skills expected of them by the commercial world.

IAE Toulouse was a widely recognised centre of pedagogical and scientific expertise in a variety of academic subjects as evidenced by the presence of its research laboratory accredited by the French Ministry of Research and the French national centre for scientific research (CNRS), as well as by a myriad of active partnerships with institutions of higher education and research both in France and abroad, and finally by the sustained involvement of economic partners.

IAE evolved with the new challenges of the teaching and research world. Emerging requirements for institutions of higher education led IAE to continuously improve the quality of its services so as to continue to meet the expectations of students and future employers.

Thanks to its demonstrated success, IAE Toulouse continued to provide excellent management education programmes, to further develop its ties with national and international research teams, and perpetuate its unique approach to private and institutional partnerships.

October 2017 marked the historic name change of IAE Toulouse to Toulouse School of Management.
