Program description
The B.H.M.S. Diploma in Culinary Arts is designed for degree holders in various professions who want to refocus their careers in the culinary industry. In the later stages of the program, it combines a hands-on approach to culinary operations and basic food preparation abilities with more sophisticated techniques and creativity. Practical theory courses help students develop their managerial abilities and ensure a balanced conversion award.
The program's highlights include a foundation in traditional European culinary techniques, cuts, stocks, and sauces before students practice these abilities with modern and international menu items in a real-world restaurant setting. The fundamentals of food safety and nutrition are also taught in order to prepare the students for their industrial training placement.
Both postgraduate and master's degrees need a 4-to-6-month internship.
