Hone your culinary skills
THE gastronomy industry is growing rapidly in Malaysia. This in turn has contributed to the need for skilled manpower in the hospitality and tourism sector.
Gastronomy is the study of food and culture, with particular focus on gourmet cuisine. One who is well versed in gastronomy is called a gastronome, while a gastronomist is one who unites theory and practice in the study of gastronomy.
In Malaysia, the hospitality and tourism sector is the main contributor to the economy. This condition gives a positive outlook for the hospitality and tourism industry.
The Management & Science University (MSU) through its School of Hospitality & Creative Arts (SHCA) offers the Bachelor’s and Diploma programmes in Culinary Arts. This programme focuses on a strong foundation and support for effective job performance through theoretical and practical learning that helps develop culinary craftsmanship and essential management skills.
Given such academic exposure, graduates would be in an advantageous position to find career opportunities not only in the gastronomic industry, but also in the government and private sectors. They include various hospitality and tourism organisations, customer support services, academia as well as careers in internationally recognised food companies.
As one of Malaysia’s best teaching and learning universities, MSU gives priority to quality education and the importance of creative teaching methodologies towards producing quality graduates.
