The difference between an MBA and the Mastère is declined in several ways:

• an MBA provides general education in management. A Mastère is more specialised

• academically, a Mastère is above the MBA because the required level of admission for the Mastère is an MBA.

The Mastère of the Toulouse Business is also accredited by a AACSB (an international organisation of Business Schools).
Hence the policy of a Specialized Mastère makes it compulsory to enable students to put their knowledge into practice in a business environment. Therefore, we make sure that their internship matches their expectations and preferences.
To achieve this, the school provides students with all the facilities necessary for them to have access to interesting professional assignments.

Our placement office located on the second floor issues up-dated lists of internships that are classified by sector, academic level and geographical area. The number of internships managed by the office exceeds 1.600 offers.

Also, the Toulouse Business School website enables students and graduates to check our internship and job offers data bank. This makes it easier for them to apply for internships from everywhere. They simply have to introduce their log-in and password to have access to the opportunities.

Another interesting option for our students is also to interview the lecturers working in the field they are interested in and define this way the right approach to their targeted job and company.

Most of the students who took the M2C programme last year did their internship in Paris and abroad.

Outlets & Opportunities

Specialized Mastères are acknowledged to train students in order to enable them to be operational very quickly during their internship and thus be able to take up professional responsibilities afterwards.

After a seven-month training in school and a six-month placement, our students enjoy a high level of expertise that is very appreciated by their employers. This explains why they are often offered a position in the company where they had their internship.

Also, the high level of studies reached via a Specialized Mastère enables our students to be part of the top students’ profiles looked for by companies and to become top executives.

Thus a Specialized Mastère is designed to enable high quality students to specialize in a chosen field. Their specialization is deepened via the drafting of professional theses, which enables them to become genuine specialists in a practical field.

A specialized Mastère is slightly more specific than an MBA, but both diplomas enable students to be entrusted with interesting professional assignments during their internship and soon after graduation.

What changes after a Specialized Mastère is the number and the quality of the opportunities offered to the graduates.

The International Companies

The city of Toulouse is a fast growing industrial center and an acknowledged technological pole.

As a consequence, many international companies have settled down in Toulouse and its outskirts, such as

• Airbus

• Motorola

• Siemens

• Spot Image

• Pierre Fabre

• Giat industries

• TekSci

• Alcatel space

• Schneider electric

• Péchiney

• Thomson

• Phillips

…And many more.

However, it also happens that our students choose a company located elsewhere in France or abroad and they are most welcome to be flexible.
