B.Sc. (Hospitality & Culinary Management - 2+2 Dual Degree)
Students at Symbiosis School of Culinary Arts (SSCA) have the unique opportunity to enhance their academic experience through an innovative collaboration with the University College Birmingham (UCB), UK. This partnership allows students to complete the first two years of their B.Sc. (Hospitality and Culinary Management) at SSCA (Symbiosis International University) before transferring to UCB to finish the final two years of their BA (Honours) in Culinary Management. This includes an invaluable one-year internship in the UK.
Those who meet the required standards in their Indian degree program at SSCA, SIU can apply for admission to UCB and receive special scholarships as part of the partnership. This arrangement not only enables students to advance their Culinary Management qualifications but also paves the way for exploring career opportunities in the UK. Upon completion of this four-year program, students will earn two undergraduate degrees—one from each institution i.e. SIU, India and UCB UK. The exciting aspect of this program is the unique opportunity for students to stay in the UK for an additional two years after completing their degree and get a student work permit. During this period, they will gain exposure to toptier hospitality operations in the vibrant UK landscape. This experience will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry's best practices.
Studying at both SSCA and UCB offers numerous advantages. Students will benefit from diverse academic curricula, blending the strengths of Indian and UK educational systems. They will have the chance to learn from esteemed professors and researchers from both countries, broadening their academic perspectives. The availability of a wider range of specializations and interdisciplinary courses will further enhance their learning experience.
Cultural exposure is another significant benefit of this program. Immersion in diverse cultures will enhance students' global awareness and cross-cultural communication skills, essential qualities in today’s globalized world. Living and studying in different environments will help students develop adaptability and independence, valuable traits in any career.
Furthermore, this collaboration will allow students to build a global network of peers, professionals, and academics. Such connections are invaluable in the culinary and hospitality industries, offering opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and career advancement. The experience will also broaden students' worldviews, providing a deeper understanding of international issues and practices.
Overall, this dual degree program between two well-known institutions in India and UK is a transformative opportunity for students, equipping them with dual degrees, extensive practical experience, and a global perspective. This comprehensive approach prepares students to excel in the competitive fields of hospitality and culinary management, both in the UK and internationally.
