Programmes of this kind usually combine hands-on kitchen and hospitality training with education theory and teaching methods. You study food preparation, nutrition, hygiene, catering operations and hospitality management, alongside curriculum planning, classroom practice and assessment. The aim is to produce graduates who can both work in the industry and teach others the trade.
Where it can take you
Most graduates go into teaching or training roles in hospitality and catering. Common destinations are SHS and TVET schools, technical colleges and industry training centres, where they teach cooking, food service and hospitality skills. Others become trainers for hotels, restaurants or catering companies, or work in curriculum development and educational materials for the sector.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry is less competitive than many degree programmes, which means there is likely to be more room for applicants. This can be an advantage if your grades are not the very highest, though you still need to meet the university's minimum requirements. Check the published admissions guidelines for the exact subject grades and qualifications needed.
