About Course

Culinary Arts may be simply defined as the preparation, cooking and presentation of food. However, expert chefs are expected to translate this definition to enhance the complexity, aesthetics and nutritional value of food through their skill, creativity and passion. The 2-year Swiss Diploma in Culinary Arts at BIHC is designed to equip students with food product-knowledge, innovative techniques, as well as the managerial education required to operate one’s own restaurant or other hospitality service outlets.

Possible careers post-graduation; Hotel and restaurant chef, Personal chef, Caterer, Baking and Pastry Chef, Food Service or restaurant manager, Sommelier, Celebrity TV chef, Food author or blogger
