An undergraduate degree that expands vocational culinary training into a broader university formation covering kitchen practice plus management, innovation, nutrition and research. It suits students who hold or plan vocational (FP Superior) qualifications and want to move into higher‑responsibility roles in culinary, managerial or product development areas.
The official description stresses a global perspective that goes beyond kitchen skills to include management, innovation, nutrition, research and directorial abilities. The programme enables deeper study in innovation gastronomic practices, research and sustainability and provides routes to practical experience through company contacts and international placements.
Students holding an FP Superior (Higher Vocational Training) can access this degree without taking the PAU/selectividad exam. UCAM offers a personalised, free study of credit recognition (convalidación) from FP to the degree; applicants are encouraged to request this prior study. Administrative contact is the Secretaría Técnica of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Nutrition (alimentacion_gastronomia_nutricion@ucam.edu) and an online contact form/WhatsApp is available for queries.
The programme is presented as a route to higher‑responsibility roles compared with FP alone: opportunities include leadership positions in high‑level restaurants, management and consultancy roles, teaching and product development within the food sector. International internships and company networks are highlighted as means to enhance employability and professional projection.
The course page does not list specific scholarships but notes institutional support for transitions from FP, including credit recognition that can shorten time to degree and reduce academic load. Prospective students are advised to contact the faculty office for information on financial aid, scholarships or specific funding options.
