Alongside the BABSE programme, At-Sunrice also unveiled its accelerated Double Diploma programme today at the Lifelong Learning Institute - as a part of its two-day programme to promote professions in the culinary arts in conjunction with the SkillsFuture Festival 2024.
Dr. Kwan Lui, Founder of At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy said, "We are thrilled to partner with The University of West London to bring such an innovative and impactful programme to Singapore. Our Double Diploma and BABSE programmes are designed to provide a comprehensive education that blends culinary arts with business acumen, preparing our students for diverse and successful careers."
Professor Peter John CBE, Vice-Chancellor and President said, "This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our commitment to delivering world-class education. The BABSE programme is a testament to our shared vision of nurturing entrepreneurial talent and fostering lifelong learning."
The programmes cater to both full-time and mid-career students, providing an enriching balance between classroom, remote, and hands-on work experience.
At-Sunrice's Double Diploma programme
The innovative Double Diploma programme refreshes At-Sunrice's classic 18-month course. In response to feedback from students that had undergone its classic programme, At-Sunrice developed the Double Diploma to offer a unique blend of work and study.
It empowers students of all experience levels to gain invaluable workplace experience through six-month placements in F&B establishments across the country, while returning to the classroom to continue learning from their peers and instructors in the other six. The initial diploma culminates in a capstone project, where students will challenge themselves to apply their skills to real-world problems. They will develop a proposal from one of six verticals: sustainability, education, charities, well-being, tourism, and journalism.
Through the programme, students will graduate with a double diploma in just 12 months, making them eligible to pursue the BABSE programme in the following 12 months.
Tailored, modular education for diverse candidates
These two new educational offerings are tailored for both local and international students who have completed their secondary, polytechnic, or ITE education and are seeking a first-class, well-rounded education within and beyond the culinary arts.
The Double Diploma maintains its focus on the culinary arts, with students able to choose specialisations such as culinary arts, pastry and baking, F&B service and beverage service. It is also integrated with a Specialist Diploma in Food Entrepreneurship (SDFE).
Expanding the knowledge base of students beyond the kitchen, the bachelor's programme is designed to equip students with a comprehensive set of skills with a focus on business and entrepreneurship - making it ideal for mid-career individuals as well as fresh graduates.
