Why Choose Culinary Arts?

If you have ever wondered what good cuisine is or want to learn to create amazing cuisine, our Culinary Arts department may be the place for you. We have created a curriculum that provides the best education in culinary arts in Asia. We believe that all good Chefs should be able to cook a variety of cuisines, so we have created a comprehensive culinary program that combines the best of European and Asian cooking with hands-on skills development. You will learn to use modern, cutting-edge culinary applications found in five-star hotels and top-class foodservice operations around the world. You will work with leading culinary brands from France, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Emirates. You will be laying the groundwork for your future as a Michelin star chef.

A degree in culinary arts offers more than an education in cooking fundamentals, it offers a wealth of opportunities in an exciting, fast-paced, and growing industry. Experienced food and beverage experts with an international perspective and English language skills are in high demand throughout the industry. Our program was created in 2014 to address this demand and nurture young culinarians along the path to successful global careers. Our faculty understand that today’s students seek personal growth and appreciate the value of intercultural exchange. Our students learn about more than food preparation; they also study business operations, restaurant management, wine and spirits, communications, and customer service.

A diverse international faculty have access to our state-of-the-art kitchens and classrooms to teach all Culinary Arts classes. Our hands-on curriculum is presented entirely in English and prepares students for employment and leadership in the culinary industry. Students can also earn certifications in several specialized industry programs. In addition, our Culinary Arts program is building internship and cooperative learning opportunities for our students with world-class hotels and resorts, cruise lines, and educational institutions throughout Asia and the world.
