Student stories - Institut Paul Bocuse

Gabriel Bourgogne - 1st year student in Culinary Arts

Anna Bucsi - Erasmus student in Hospitality-Management

Gabriel Alves Vieira - 3rd year student in Culinary Arts

Amaury Frenoy - 3rd year student in Hospitality-Management

I chose the Bachelor in International Hospitality Management after getting my highschool diploma in Economics. I have always been drawn to the field of gastronomy, beauty and languages. The Institut Paul Bocuse was a great opportunity for me. Students are put in real situation from the first year and I was looking for concrete training with practice and a possibility to go abroad. After an open day and meetings with students and teachers, I wanted to apply and start the adventure.
Mélia Negro - 2nd year student in Hospitality-Management

Ben Feldman - 2nd year student in Culinary Arts

Intense courses and well-planned projects in three modern cities (Lyon, Paris, Shangai) offer me a great opportunity to experience different market environments and cultures. Professors are all professionals with decades of experience in the industry.
Chungui Yang - MSc in International Hospitality Management

I’m looking forward the Pop Up Concept Restaurant, it’s about creating a restaurant from scratch, from making its business plan to running it for two days in December. Teams are comprised of people from very different backgrounds as to provide as many perspectives as possible, completed by one or two culinary students from the MCLI. This project is very challenging, but definitely gives a clear view of what it takes to create a restaurant and will for sure prove to be very useful for what awaits us in our future career.
Juliette Manhes - MSc in International Hospitality Management

Larus Gudmundsson - 3rd year student in Culinary Arts

This experience was totally unique and probably one of the best ever of my life. I discovered so many new things: I learnt how to find out about others, their cultures and their cooking; I learnt to work with renowned chefs and practitioners whilst living for 4 months in a new country. It all has an amazing impact on your personal development.
