This European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) confirms a number of demanding criteria: the quality of an educational establishment's international outlook as well as its regional dynamism, its links with companies and partners, and its ability to innovate both in terms of training and research.

TSM, with the strong support of its Toulouse Capitole University, has been committed to a quality approach, both in terms of the content of its courses and its organisation, since 2008. It is gradually gaining recognition from the EFMD until it is fully accredited in 2023.
