The degree has been crafted to seamlessly integrate theory and practice across three threads of learning, culinary practice, culinary arts and culinary business. This is a vocational culinary degree and does not follow the traditional, layered approach to learning of a business or management degree. The orientation for the business thread in the degree is to provide the knowledge and skills that graduates will need to review, develop and maintain the viability and success of culinary businesses in which they will operate. Care has been taken to balance subjects which will foster enterprise, innovation, strategic thinking and decision making, with those which provide the operational knowledge for the culinary environment.
