Culinary Arts is, at its most basic form, the art of cooking.

This field is not just about cooking, but also about the craft and design of creating dishes that leave a lasting impression. It is the art of preparing food that engages multiple senses and does more than just filling an empty stomach.

A Diploma in Culinary Arts will teach you the essentials of crafting beautiful dishes of food. You will learn how to prepare various types of cuisine, food and beverages, as well as learn how to operate a kitchen.

A Diploma in Culinary Arts requires at least 3 credits (C and above) at SPM, O-Level or equivalent.

For UEC students, you will need to have minimum of 3Bs.

To pursue a Diploma in Culinary Arts, you need to have an SPM qualification or equivalent. You must also meet the minimum entry requirements of the college or university.

A Diploma in Culinary Arts is typically 2 to 2.5 years long.

Upon completing a Diploma in Culinary Arts, you will have several options:
