Culinary Arts

Anyone hoping to build a career in professional kitchens and food businesses, or already employed in hospitality and wanting to progress, can take this foundation degree. It leads to a recognised qualification and opens doors to organisations known for creativity in food and hospitality. Three groups are likely to benefit most: students continuing from level 3 courses, mature learners who need to upskill and may be seeking promotion, and people thinking of switching careers. Subjects include hygiene and food safety, cuisines from around the world, managing income and spending, drinks including wine and beer, and sustainable kitchen systems. Teaching is based at Rhos-on-Sea on Mondays and Wednesdays. The degree takes two years full-time or four years part-time, and individual modules are available too. Students may apply through UCAS or contact the college directly to enrol.
