The Hautes Etude du Goût: a gastronomy course carried out at Reims University, that provides a thorough knowledge on taste and arts of the table.

The Hautes Etudes du Goût offer a global approach to foods and beverages. We use a three-pronged historic, scientific and economic view to allow our students to become experts in the field of gastronomy.

HEG gastronomy training program

The course program revolves around three different approaches: Exact Sciences and Technology, Human and Social Sciences, and Economic and Legal Sciences. We also invite renowned experts to share their knowledge during lectures about taste and gastronomy: “Neurophysiology of taste”; “Economics of gastronomy; 'Food Law”; “History of table service in the 19th Century” and much more.

Gastronomy course: pedagogical meals and workshops

To round off the training of our students, the Hautes Etudes du Goût set up pedagogical meals and workshops (about associations of food with wines; medieval gastronomy, etc.), as well as a guided tour of the most famous French professional food market: the Rungis International Market.
