Why did you choose Toulouse?

Coming from a huge city (12+ million habitants) I chose Toulouse because it is a good size city, not too big nor too small, meaning it has enough opportunities, yet it still has a close feeling. Also, it offers a rich cultural experience and a high quality of life. The city is known for its beautiful architecture, art museums, and historic landmarks, as well as its vibrant culture.

Why did you choose TSM?

It is important to note that as a PhD student, my priorities might not be the same as an MSc or BSc student. I chose TSM because it has a strong reputation for its academic programmes, particularly in the field of management science. The faculty members are renowned experts in their respective fields, and the curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills.

What is your best memory of your life in France?

The best memory of my life in France is actually arriving in the country. I did my master in 2016 in Nantes and always wanted to come back. Arriving at the TLS airport was a small “I made it” moment. 

Why would you recommend TSM to students from your home school?

I would recommend TSM for MSc and BSc because it offers a high-quality academic programme in management science, which is highly regarded both nationally and internationally. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid theoretical foundation in business and management, as well as practical skills that are highly valued by employers. 

Secondly, TSM has a diverse and international community of students, which provides an opportunity to learn from people from different cultures and backgrounds. This diversity fosters an inclusive and welcoming environment conducive to personal growth and development.

Thirdly, TSM has a strong network of industry partnerships, providing students with valuable internships, networking, and career development opportunities. This helps students to gain practical experience in their field of study, and to develop the skills and knowledge that are highly sought after by employers.
