Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management

Located in the agglomeration of Sfax, the second largest urban centre in Tunisia with its half a million inhabitants, the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management is attached to the University of Sfax, founded in 1986. During the 2019-2020 academic year, the faculty welcomed. 2763 students in Licence; 1001 students in Master (including 173 in accounting revision); 200 students in Doctorate. Our students benefit from a complete training, a varied study path and an elaborate knowledge base increasingly adapted to the needs of the labour market. The teaching mission is ensured by a team of dynamic and motivated teachers belonging to five departments (economics, management, computer science, quantitative methods, accounting) to which is added a language laboratory. These departments focus on the challenges faced by young students and doctoral candidates (professional integration, contact with the reality of the problems, support in teaching, etc.). The faculty, a teaching and research environment, is home to 8 units animated by a potential of teacher-researchers and teachers working to promote theoretical and applied research, both individual and collective, covering a vast field of scientific knowledge and developing multiple exchanges in partnership with other national and international universities.
