The Culinary Arts programme will prepare students to perform both technical and management activities in the restaurant business/food service, whether part of hotel units or not, as well as food and beverage departments. Our mission is to train culinary arts professionals with solid technical training and ethical awareness, with a focus on creativity; combining innovative and traditional methodologies; valuing and promoting gastronomy, and contributing to the sustainable development of the tourism sector and the HORECA.
This training will enable students to acquire not only the knowledge and technical skills in the hospitality sector but also the adequate personal and soft skills required, through the attendance of course units such as Creativity and Personal Development and Artistic Expressions, as well as integrated management skills based on innovative learning models.
