What are your chances?

FERRANDI Paris is a specialized French higher-education institution focused on culinary arts, entrepreneurship, hospitality, and food-and-beverage management. It operates as an établissement d’enseignement supérieur consulaire, a distinct French legal category connected to the chamber-of-commerce system. For students seeking a recognized undergraduate qualification, its principal degree offerings are three-year bachelor programs in Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship and in Food & Beverage and Hospitality Management. Both combine academic management study with substantial practical instruction and workplace experience. The institution also offers an MSc and shorter professional courses, but these credentials should be evaluated separately from its ministry-authorized bachelor diplomas. FERRANDI teaches across six French campuses, while the availability of each program and language track varies by location. The Paris campus provides extensive technical laboratories, training restaurants, student facilities, and access to the capital’s hospitality sector.

Student Life & Environment

Student life at FERRANDI is closely connected to its professional teaching environment. On the Paris campus, students have access to a cafeteria and student area, a media library, workspaces, sports facilities, multimedia classrooms, and spaces used by the student bureau. The institution also reports a nurse on campus and support with grants, banking, and housing searches. The Bureau des Élèves organizes integration activities, social events, professional meetings, competitions, partnerships, and charitable projects. Students may also participate in sector events and school projects. Because courses involve kitchens, laboratories, internships, and training restaurants, day-to-day life can be more structured and professionally oriented than at a broad residential university. Housing requires advance planning. FERRANDI states that it has no on-campus accommodation in Paris. Students generally rent independently, share an apartment, or use a homestay. Enrolled or confirmed students receive housing contacts, and the school directs students to an external housing platform. Dijon has nearby student accommodation, but that should not be assumed for Paris or the other campuses. International support includes practical information about visas, French health coverage, banking, arrival, insurance, and accommodation. The school holds France’s Bienvenue en France label, which concerns services for international students.

Location & Surroundings

The Paris campus is in the 6th arrondissement, near Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This central setting places students close to restaurants, hotels, shops, cultural institutions, and public transport. It is particularly relevant for hospitality and culinary students because internships, employer events, and professional observation can take place within a large local tourism and restaurant economy. The campus itself contains specialist teaching infrastructure rather than a conventional residential estate. FERRANDI lists 40 kitchens and technical laboratories, two application restaurants, a school restaurant, multimedia teaching rooms, a media library, and sports facilities. Its training restaurants allow students to practise production and service in an operating environment. Central Paris also brings practical tradeoffs. FERRANDI does not provide Paris campus housing, so students must navigate the private rental or homestay market and budget separately for transport and living expenses. Applicants should verify the exact teaching site shown for their program: FERRANDI operates in Paris, Saint-Gratien, Bordeaux, Rennes, Dijon, and Strasbourg, and a program offered by the institution may not be available in central Paris.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For the 2026/2027 academic year, the official Food & Beverage and Hospitality Management bachelor page lists tuition of €14,100 per year for standard entry in years one through three and €14,500 per year for direct admission into year two or three. The Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship bachelor lists €15,100 per year for standard entry and €15,500 for direct entry into year two or three. These figures are program-specific and should not be interpreted as a single institution-wide tuition rate. Additional expenses matter in a practical program. FERRANDI’s 2026/2027 financial terms estimate an initial €850 for culinary uniforms and professional equipment in the Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship bachelor. Students may also need business clothing and must budget separately for housing, food, transport, insurance, and personal expenses. The Paris campus has no residence, and the school does not publish one guaranteed cost of living because accommodation prices vary. Applicants should read the financing terms before paying a deposit, including payment schedules, administrative charges, and withdrawal conditions. Career preparation is embedded through internships, apprenticeships where available, company projects, and employer contact. The Career Center begins supporting students after admission, advising on company selection, applications, internships, work-study positions, and jobs in France or abroad. The school also provides an alumni portal and organizes employer-facing activities. These services are useful infrastructure, but they do not guarantee placement, salary, or a particular employer.
