Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Culinary Management

Overview

The Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Culinary Management degree blends culinary artistry with business strategy, preparing graduates for leadership in modern foodservice, hospitality, and food innovation industries. 

In Year 1, students develop foundational skills in Culinary Operations and Small Business Ventures, alongside core business modules.
