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.
Throughout the 3 years of the Bachelor’s degree, you will acquire the professional knowledge necessary for your future role as a manager. Of course, the level increases gradually. In the 1st year, we cover :
This is the knowledge related to the professional sector such as the hotel environment, operations in hotel structures, rooms, etc. At the end of the cycle, you will have an overview of the organisation, roles and skills necessary to join a hotel and/or catering business.
You’ll discover the entire sector:
During the 3 years of the BA degree, you also benefit from professional support, coordinated with the Careers Department: reflection on your career plans through individual support, advice from recruitment agencies (CV and cover letter) … Personal development , it is also the development of your skills in languages, oral and written, and your general culture:
You also have the opportunity during the year to enhance the human experience through the Get Involved project, a humanitarian, civic or ecological work project, to transform your view of the world and put your humanist values into action.
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.
YEAR 2 : Adapt your course to your profile

And depending on the option you chose:
YEAR 3: Specialisation or Work-linked training
You can direct your training according to your preferences and your career plans: choose from 2 tracks and 3 4 options.
If you choose the standard track, a part of the teaching is dedicated to specialisation and corresponds to the option you have chosen:
Opt for a work-study track in year 3. The advantage? Your tuition fees are covered! You study management courses. You do not have any specialisation courses. It is the field of your company in which you’re hired that specialises your year: catering, events, accommodation, etc.
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 skills.
You will complete your work placement in a position of operational middle management, either in project or team management, or in a support function.
The courses take place face-to-face; exceptionally, some courses may be held remotely.
The programmes are likely to evolve without engaging the Dordogne CCI liability.
This programme is accessible to people with disabilities.

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.
