Hotel Management - Culinary Arts
You are a professional who is perfectly at home in the fascinating world of the restaurant business. Our programme offers a firm base of classes in management, ICT, communication and teamwork. On top of that, you will get specific practical and theoretical courses that will lead to a bright future as a chef in a renowned restaurant.
Direct contact with people in the field is an essential part of the bachelor programme. In the first and second year of the programme, you will run restaurant De Karmeliet for several months. You will cook for external guests and manage the restaurant on a high level. In your third year, you will do an 18 weeks traineeship in an internationally renowned gourmet restaurant.
Why enrol for this programme?
The training has a strong practical focus and therefore fits in seamlessly with professional life. The development of social skills also receives a lot of attention through group work, presentations. Very interesting are the projects in which you will participate. In the project "Café CuiZien" you will design a hospitality business around a certain theme. In this project both economic and hospitality subjects are put into practice.
You will work in a group and present to a jury consisting of teachers and various hospitalitymanagers, who are also part of the advisory board of the program.
A special feature of these projects is that the hospitality specific, business economic and linguistic aspects are integrated. In other words, you bring all aspects of the program together into one whole, just like in reality.
The Culinary Arts specialization is an initiative of the Flanders Culinary Arts Centre (FCAC), a collaboration between VIVES University of Applied Sciences and Hotel School Ter Duinen. All info about FCAC and the Culinary Arts specialization can also be found here.
Extra costs
The practical lessons in the Karmeliet obviously require raw materials which add costs. The first and second year you pay €400, and the third year €250. Also kitchen clothing (€ 350) and knives (€184) need to be purchased.
