The Culinology degree Course:

Just take one minute and consider, what items are on people’s menus today: milk powder, decaffeined coffee, pasteurized milk, processed cheese, instant soups…It’s obvious that we would have none of these – and many others - if it was not for science.

The blend of science and cooking, of technology and Culinary Arts, is known under the term Culinology. The degree programm in Culinology is offered as a 2+2 by Southwest Minnesota State University in conjunction with KDU College. It is the latest and hottest addition to the culinary world in Malaysia.

The four-year degree course blends subjects like maths, chemistry and organic biochemistry with traditional and modern culinary modules: hot and cold cooking, butchery, patisserie, molecular cooking and others. It aims to create an understanding of the chemical processes, that take place during the preparation of food and, ultimately, to enable students to find ways to improve food, food safety and cooking methods.
