New Programme! Gain a world-class education in gastronomy and hospitality from Le Cordon Bleu

The School of Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure Management (SHTLM) at Sunway University has partnered the famed Le Cordon Bleu (LCB) fostering a collaboration that combines the scholarly rigour of Sunway with a rich tradition of excellence in culinary and hospitality education. Le Cordon Bleu is one of the most respected schools of gastronomy and hospitality management founded in 1895 in Paris, France.

LCB will validate three of Sunway’s diploma programmes; the Diploma in Hotel Management, Diploma in Events Management and the Diploma in Culinary Arts. The Diploma in Culinary Arts is the latest addition of which Sunway received the approval to conduct from the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia recently. All three diploma programmes will include a 20-week internship, providing an integrated approach of learning by doing and exposure to real-world experience. Students who have successfully completed these Diploma courses will be awarded two certificates, one from Sunway and one from Le Cordon Bleu.
