Savignac, 1st hotel school where students say life is good

Choosing a hospitality school isn’t just about the quality of the courses: the living environment, the support provided, and the connections with the industry are just as important. It is precisely these criteria that form the basis of the ranking, which is compiled using feedback from the students themselves. The results are clear. Here are the key figures from the accreditation survey:

  • The school has a 98% student recommendation rate.
  • 97% of our students are satisfied with our school/company relations, and feel that these provide them with professional opportunities (internships, work-study schemes, first jobs, etc.).
  • Our students feel that their school is committed to improving its social and environmental impact (CSR approach...) with a satisfaction rate of 93%.

These three indicators place theÉcole de Savignac at the top of the 2024 Best School Experience rankings in the hospitality and culinary arts category—an accolade based directly on student feedback rather than purely academic criteria.
