Grand Diplôme^® with Culinary Management

The curriculum is composed of three Le Cordon Bleu diplomas:

• During the first 9 months of the programme, you will study simultaneously our Diplôme de Cuisine and Diplôme de Pâtisserie in order to complete Le Cordon Bleu's most prestigious diploma: Grand Diplôme®. You will be first taught basic culinary and pastry skills before applying them to high-quality produce and specialist ingredients.
• Diploma in Culinary Management: upon successful completion of both the Diplôme de Pâtisserie and the Diplôme de Cuisine, students will start studying this diploma over a period of 3 months. The Diploma in Culinary Management includes advanced culinary classes, key operational and management disciplines as well as business and marketing.

To complete the full diploma you will need to succesfully complete the three diplomas over a period of 12 months.

This comprehensive programme is ideal for students who have already clear career objectives and know that culinary management knowledge associated to culinary arts skills will be key to their success. We welcome students from a variety of different educational and occupational backgrounds. No prior culinary experience is required. This programme is suitable if:
