Cook up the future of your business. Manage wisely, create with skill

In this Double Bachelor's Degree in Gastronomy and Business Management, haute cuisine and business strategy converge in a single academic experience designed to prepare future leaders of the gastronomic sector.

Part of the programme is delivered at Le Cordon Bleu Madrid, one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world. At the same time, you will train through the UFV College methodology, based on real challenges and the integration of Law, Business, Government, and Economics. This interdisciplinary approach enables you to understand gastronomy not only as a creative discipline, but also as a strategic and entrepreneurial activity.

From your first year, you will cook in professional kitchens, learn how gastronomic businesses are structured and managed, and develop the capacity to create value through technique, innovation, and sound decision-making.

You may specialise in Haute Cuisine or Hotels and Restaurants, complete internships at leading organisations such as DiverXO, Eurostars, NH, Campofrío, or Coca-Cola, and grow professionally in an environment where excellence, innovation, and vocation are closely connected.
