Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The four-year pathway progressively educates students on the basics of food and kitchen hygiene, kitchen practices, and food and beverage management right through to advanced techniques in modern establishments.

The two years of the programme build the basic foundations in gastronomy and culinary arts. Students learn about the essence of food hygiene, principles of nutrition, characteristics of food ingredients, and fundamentals of pastry, among many of the programmes offered in the first 4 semesters.

In the third and fourth year of study students expand their knowledge as they engage more in practical explorations, get exposure to work, gain industry experience and tackle food sciences experiments.

Internship programmes are offered in the second semester of level 3 and the first semester of level 4, before completion of the degree programme.
