Doctoral programs

TBS Education offers two doctoral programs:

• The PhD degree is designed for students who aim to become teachers and researchers
• The DBA degree is a doctoral degree for managers and executives who already have significant working experience in companies.

General presentation

TBS Education is one of the rare French business schools to associate with a Doctoral Management School, in our case the TSM Ecole Doctorale Sciences de Gestion of the Toulouse 1 Capitole University. In this context, we offer our Master in Management students the opportunity to first obtain a double degree as Master of Science & Master in Management, which then allows them to start working on a doctoral thesis.

To supervise your thesis, a large number of TBS Education professors hold the French HDR degree (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches). The TBS Education HDR professors can also supervise theses from the Doctoral School of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Ecole Doctorale Aéronautique et Astronautique), another doctoral school that belongs to the Toulouse University.

What is a doctoral degree ?

A doctoral degree is one of the highest university degrees in France. It allows you to obtain eight years of training after high school, as thesis work generally requires three years.
