With regards to the Tourism Industry, gastronomy has become an asset and a reference over the last few years. At present, Spain has ascended towards a landmark of global trends, predominantly thanks to the awareness and leadership of its chefs. At the same time the food service sector has been targeting the optimization of its processes and the intensification of customer loyalty.
Food Culture and Culinary Arts in the Mediterranean is specially designed for students pursuing a degree in culinary arts as well as for those pursuing degrees in the social sciences and business. Students will deepen their understanding of food as art, as well as food as an expression of culture. This hands-on program allows for students to develop their technical and theoretical knowledge of gastronomic culture. Additionally, students who fulfill the requirements will have the opportunity to obtain a Certificate in Culinary Arts from CETT-University of Barcelona.

Food Culture and Culinary Arts in the Mediterranean has been specially designed in English for international students. Its content has been inspired by and in part extracted from our Bachelor's Degree in Culinary and Gastronomic Sciences, an interuniversity degree (UB-UPC) that is the first of its kind in Spain, and which finally brings this art into the realm of academia to further advance knowledge and research in this field. The foundation of the program lies in its strong emphasis in hands-on learning. We wanted our international students to walk away from CETT-UB, from Barcelona and from the Mediterranean with a real practical and visual memory of the knowledge acquired in class.
