Student Life & Environment

Student life is closely tied to a small, professionally oriented school environment. The official student-life page describes integration activities, student sponsorship, sports and events coordinated by the Bureau des Élèves, which brings together students from different classes and supports shared projects. Facilities listed by the school include a student area and cafeteria, media library, workspaces, digital classrooms, a sports hall, gymnasium and online learning platforms. Support services include an on-campus nurse, help with grants and housing, and access to partner-bank information. The school also presents disability support during recruitment and directs applicants to a dedicated disability contact. International students can receive practical guidance on arrival, insurance, visas and accommodation, but they remain responsible for completing the relevant administrative requirements. Housing is an important limitation at the Paris campus: FERRANDI does not provide on-campus accommodation there. Students typically rent or share apartments or use homestays. Admitted candidates receive housing contacts, but this is assistance rather than guaranteed accommodation. Applicants should therefore begin budgeting and searching early, particularly in Paris. Student activities and services may differ across campuses, so details published for Paris should not automatically be applied to Bordeaux, Rennes, Dijon or other locations.

Location & Surroundings

The principal Paris campus is at 28 rue de l’Abbé Grégoire in the sixth arrondissement. This is a central urban setting rather than a self-contained residential campus. The location places students within Paris’s restaurant, hotel and food-retail environment, which is relevant for a school built around culinary and hospitality practice. Two teaching restaurants, Le Premier and Le 28, operate at the Paris address and allow students in specified programs to prepare or serve meals in an educational setting. Central Paris also requires realistic planning for commuting and housing. Because the school has no residence on its Paris campus, students normally live elsewhere and travel by public transport or on foot. Housing costs and availability can vary substantially by neighborhood and accommodation type, and the school does not guarantee a placement. FERRANDI is a multicampus institution. Degree documents also identify Bordeaux and Rennes, while the broader school network includes additional locations. Applicants should not assume that every specialization, language option, student service or study format is available at every campus. The offer letter and program documentation should be checked for the exact teaching site before committing to housing or travel arrangements.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Costs vary by program and study status. For 2026/2027, FERRANDI’s published first-year finance sheet for the Food and Beverage and Hospitality Management bachelor lists tuition of €14,100 per year for full-time students, with later-year figures subject to indexation or modification. It also estimates €850 for uniforms and notes that students need business suits. The application charge is €150, reduced to €50 for eligible higher-education grant recipients. The document lists free tuition and contractual compensation for first-year apprentices, but apprenticeship access and contract requirements must be checked individually. The school requires a 30% tuition deposit for full-time enrollment. Its published installment option spreads the balance over five payments from October 2026 to February 2027 and adds a €300 administrative charge. These figures apply to the cited program and intake, not automatically to culinary, MSc or short professional programs. Paris students must also budget for independent housing, transport, food, insurance and personal expenses because the campus has no residence. Career preparation is integrated through internships, apprenticeships and the Career Center. The center advises students on employers, prepares them for selection and assists with placement difficulties and job searches in France or abroad. It also organizes employer meetings and provides access to an alumni portal from admission. These services and the school’s employer network can support a search, but they do not constitute a job or salary guarantee; language skills, work authorization, experience and the selected program remain important.
