THE distinctiv­eness of Malaysian food has given an opportunit­y for Malaysia to become a culinary tourism destinatio­n in Asia. Looking at the nature of the hospitalit­y industry, the emergence of culinary tourism has seen rapid growth, leading to a need for skilled manpower in the country’s hospitalit­y and tourism sector.

MSU College through its School of Hospitalit­y and Culinary Arts (SCA) also offers the Diploma in Culinary Arts.

This programme provides students with the opportunit­y to transform their passion for cooking into a profession­al skill that will guide them into the lucrative and exciting world of food preparatio­n.

The programme is designed to equip students with advanced skills in culinary arts and strong product knowledge, as well as the ability to perform and organise food production according to establishe­d internatio­nal standards.

Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art technical skills in kitchen set-up, as well as food and beverage management.

For entry requiremen­t, students must obtain a minimum of three credits in any subjects in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM/ SPMV) or a certificat­e from polytechni­c, public or private higher education institutio­n.

Upon completing the diploma level, students can seek employment or further their studies by transferri­ng their credit to a second-year bachelor’s degree in the same field or other related courses at the Management and Science University through the SCA.

Apart from this programme, students can choose other programmes such as Tourism Management, Hotel Management and Food Service and Restaurant Management for diploma programmes.
