TSM celebrates its 70th anniversary at the heart of Toulouse Capitole University
on the October 7, 2025
Toulouse School of Management, component of Toulouse Capitole University, is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. This milestone highlights the school's pioneering role in management education within a university whose roots date back to 1229, when France's first university was founded.
Founded in 1955 under the name "Institut de préparation aux affaires", TSM has gradually established a model based on scientific rigour, international openness and social responsibility. With its EQUIS accreditation, close links to research and an active alumni network, the school now trains students to thrive in a global economic environment.
To celebrate this anniversary, TSM organised a special day on Tuesday 7 October 2025. The festivities began with a convivial afternoon in the school's Anciennes Facultés park, bringing together more than 1,000 participants for fun and creative activities open to all. The highlight of the afternoon was the birthday tea party, with TSM Director Julien Grobert and the President of the Student Council blowing out the candles on the cake together.
The day continued with an institutional evening event, bringing together more than 230 participants: teaching and research staff, administrative staff, academic and business partners, local dignitaries and students involved in community life. The evening also featured a speech by Véronique Dominguez-Guillaume, Deputy Rector for Higher Education, Research and Innovation for the Occitanie region.

Its integration into the heart of an eight-century-old university gives TSM a unique identity: that of a modern, innovative and cosmopolitan school, yet rooted in the intellectual and humanist tradition of one of Europe's oldest universities. TSM's 70 years thus symbolise the dialogue between heritage and modernity in the service of student success.
