The course combines interactive classes, practical workshops, placements in prestigious houses and professional immersion within the Ferrières ecosystem: a four-star hotel, restaurants and event venues. Professional experience begins in the first year with fourteen to sixteen weeks of placement, continues in the second year with a semester in Barcelona, and concludes in the third year with a chosen focus — Hotel Operations, F&B Operations or Luxury Field Operations — on a work-study or full-time basis, in partnership with the largest hotel groups.
The Bachelor is open to holders of the baccalauréat, whatever their stream. Selection is based on a review of the application file and an individual interview of 20 to 30 minutes, on campus or by video call. Tuition fees are €13,500 per year; in the third year, work-study allows fees to be covered in full. Several funding solutions are available: student loans, excellence scholarships awarded by the Fonds de Dotation Ferrières, work-study and support from G.A Financement.

The Bachelor leads on to the MSc. Leadership in Hospitality Management (RNCP Level 7), awarded in partnership with EBS Paris. Applications are open all year round to French and international students — Ferrières supports international applicants with their Campus France procedures. The next intake is in September 2026.
An exceptional school at the heart of the Château de Ferrières
Housed in the Château de Ferrières, a listed historic monument in Seine-et-Marne, École Ferrières embodies French excellence in hospitality, restaurants and luxury. Awarded 4 Palmes Eduniversal 2025, it ranks among the leading hospitality schools in the Île-de-France region. The Bachelor in Hospitality Management trains the sector's future leaders over three years, cultivating personal conduct, professional craft and the drive to get things done. RNCP Level 6 and Qualiopi certified, this three-year degree is designed for students who wish to combine applied management, the art of hosting and an international outlook.
A progressive, industry-focused programme
The first year lays the foundations of the hospitality industries through a common core, enriched by optional classes in cuisine and pastry. Students complete six weeks of placement within the Ferrières ecosystem — four-star hotel, fine-dining restaurants, events — followed by eight to ten weeks with partner houses. The second year develops expertise in Operations and Guest Experience, with a semester in Barcelona devoted to the Entertainment, Airlines, Cruiseliner & MICE sectors, or an optional international academic exchange, together with sixteen weeks of placement. The third year consolidates management skills with a chosen focus — Hotel Operations, F&B Operations or Luxury Field Operations — on a work-study basis through the Alternance Trail, in partnership with the largest hotel groups, at a rhythm of one week at school for three weeks in the workplace, or on a full-time basis, with five months at school and six months of placement.
The programme also includes the Fusion Trail, a foundation of hybrid skills shared with sister schools 89 and EBS Paris: AI, data and guest experience, design thinking and project management, entrepreneurship, sustainable transition, cybersecurity and digital challenges.
Teaching built on practice
The Ferrières approach rests on three pillars. Vocational teaching, delivered as interactive classes, passes on the technological, scientific and technical knowledge of the sector. Learning through practice — via the professional acceleration programme, workshops in fully equipped kitchens, trade fairs, masterclasses, competitions and placements in five-star establishments — allows that knowledge to be transferred to the real world. Finally, individual support accompanies every student in their personal development, their career plans and their employability, in particular through the Partnerships & Careers department and the Career Summits held twice a year.
Admissions and funding
The Bachelor in Hospitality Management is open to holders of a general, technological or vocational baccalauréat, or an equivalent foreign qualification accompanied by a certificate of equivalence translated by the embassy's official services. Applications are made online and are open all year round. Selection is based on a review of the file — CV, proof of identity, school reports from the final two years, optional covering letter — followed by an individual interview of 20 to 30 minutes, on campus or by video call, assessing the applicant's personality, potential and motivation.
Tuition fees are €13,500 per year, that is €40,500 over three years. In the third year, work-study brings this figure down to €10,000, covered in full under the contract. Several funding solutions support families: student loans, work-study, support from G.A Financement, together with excellence scholarships and social grants awarded by the Fonds de Dotation Ferrières on three criteria — the order in which applications arrive, the quality of the file and the family's social situation.
Careers in the leading houses
With a 100% employment rate within six months (Class of 2024), the Bachelor opens the door to supervisory roles in prestige hotels, fine dining and upscale events: Guest Experience Officer, Event & MICE Assistant Manager, Boutique Manager, F&B Manager, Assistant Hotel Manager or Assistant Operations Manager. More than 50 international placement destinations and an alumni network present in palaces, luxury groups and starred restaurants worldwide allow students to build their careers from the very first year.
The Bachelor leads on to the MSc. Leadership in Hospitality Management (RNCP Level 7), awarded in partnership with EBS Paris and taught entirely in English. Together, the two programmes open the way to international leadership roles in luxury hospitality, gastronomy and consulting.
