The BA degree takes you gradually from an introduction of the sector in Year 1 to specialisation in Year 3.
YEAR 1 : Fundamentals
Year 1 of the course is devoted to an introduction to the hotel, restaurant, luxury, events and leisure sectors and to the fundamentals of management.
The programme is developed around 4 areas of learning.
Throughout the 3 years of the Bachelor’s degree, you will acquire the professional knowledge necessary for your future role as a manager: legal culture, accounting, basic marketing, intercultural communication, English Level 1, Spanish or German Level 2, computer skills, work methodology, etc.
During the 3 years of the BA degree you will also benefit from professional support within the Careers Department: reflection on your career plans through individual support, advice from recruitment agencies (CV and covering letter), etc.
This is the knowledge related to the professional sector such as the hotel environment, operations in hotel structures, meetings, etc. You will be introduced to the whole sector by learning about events, the leisure hotel business, the luxury market, etc. At the end of the course, you will have an overview of the organisation, roles and skills required to join a hotel and/or catering business. During Year 1, you will spend 4 – 8 months in a company and be able to choose whether this is in France or abroad. You will be working in an operational position: you will discover how the organisation works and understand the scope of its roles and responsibilities.
Foundation studies in English are obligatory to bring up to the required level those students who did not reach this level during entry tests for Year 1.
The programmes are likely to evolve without engaging the Dordogne CCI liability.
YEAR 2 : Experience
You can choose an experience to suit you in Year 2 as the Bachelor’s degree at École de Savignac gives you the possibility to build your personal and professional career.
You can choose from three options :
Whichever route you choose, you will follow a core curriculum which broadens and enhances the learning begun in Year 1 in the areas of management, personal development and the industry itself: cross cultural marketing, tourism issues in the hospitality industry, contract and events management, legal culture, languages, information technology, communication, etc.
The programme of studies in Year 2 is not the same and depends on the experience chosen :
> Option: Semester of study abroad
During the 1st semester in Year 2, École Supérieure Internationale de Savignac hosts students from our partner universities who come to study at the School campus.
> Option: Work placement
> Option: ‘Get Involved’ project (and work experience)
YEAR 3 : Specialisation
In Year 3, you personalise and focus your course of studies. You can direct your training according to your preferences and your career plans by choosing one of the 4 options on offer.
A part of the teaching is dedicated to further developing your managerial knowledge and skills. Whichever route you choose, you will follow a core curriculum on industry knowledge and management science.
In Year 3, teaching focuses on analysis, strategy and on practical cases, using real situations which face companies. You will have a variety of tasks: you plan and carry out market research, process audits, make diagnostics and recommendations, and even devise new concepts for the restaurant industry, etc. You will therefore develop your decision-making skiills.
Another part of the teaching is dedicated to specialisation and corresponds to the option you have chosen:
You will complete your final work placement in a position of operational middle management, either in project or team management, or in a support function.
Do you like to welcome and help people, and be of service to them? Do you like to be surrounded by people and work as part of a team? Do you like to travel? Then this degree is made for you.

The MBA degree in Hospitality Management provided at the Ecole de Savignac.
This training is made for students wishing to access positions of responsibility in the hotel and restaurant sector, in managerial positions, at the head of services or establishments, in France and abroad.
After finishing studies at the catering school at Thonon-les-Bains, I wanted to further my knowledge with a degree. I now have an MBA. What happened? Savignac! École de Savignac was a real springboard and enabled me to develop in order to tackle the world of work. Thanks to the wonderful years of training and networking events there, I was able to combine my dreams and my passions. I have worked in the restaurant trade in exceptional places such as Rolland Garros, le Stade de France and Accor Hotels Arena.
