Master in Culinary Industry Management (MCIM025)
Master in Culinary Industry Management (MCIM025) at LSTH
Most culinary professionals get promoted into management without ever being taught it. They learn brigade structure, line work and service intimately — and then suddenly they're running budgets, hiring, supplier negotiations and compliance. The Master in Culinary Industry Management (MCIM025) is built for exactly that transition point.
The programme treats the kitchen as a business unit. You'll cover culinary operations leadership, P&L thinking, menu engineering, supplier and supply-chain management, food-safety compliance at strategic level, and the people side of running culinary teams. The aim is to make you genuinely capable at the management layer rather than just confident on the pass.
