How the Pathway Works

Start your culinary journey in Dubai and complete your degree in Cyprus.

You’ll begin with hands-on, industry-focused culinary training at DCT, developing core skills in food preparation, kitchen operations, and service excellence. Upon successful completion of the Advanced Diploma in Culinary Arts, you can progress on to the final year of the BA in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts programme at Eastern Mediterranean University. Continuing your studies at degree level, you will expand your expertise in gastronomy, global cuisines, and culinary innovation.

This seamless transition ensures you graduate with both practical experience and a recognised academic qualification.

The top-up bachelor's programme is designed to develop not only skilled chefs, but future industry leaders - equipping graduates with expertise in world cuisines, food production, and kitchen management, alongside essential skills in communication, research, and commercial thinking.
