Le Cordon Bleu - a global culinary brand:

• A world-famous culinary school
• Since 1895 - a benchmark in culinary education
• Hands-on training with world-class chefs

The London campus has professional kitchens and learning spaces for hands-on training.

The school specializes in gastronomy:

• Cuisine
• Pâtisserie
• Restaurant Management
• Winemaking & Gastronomy

Admission is based on your school diploma and English. The school is geared toward international students.

Admission to Le Cordon Bleu London takes six months or more; here are the key stages:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — cuisine and restaurant Management — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. Usually IELTS; the exact score depends on the university and program.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, StudyU helps prepare visa or residence-permit documents for the UK; the consular or migration authority makes the decision.

After 11 years of school. Not directly: bachelor programs require 12-13 years of schooling. A university Foundation year (one year) or A-levels (two years) close the gap. Master programs accept bachelor diplomas directly.

A private international school; tuition applies. You see the tuition and required extras before the application.

Country benchmark for the UK. Tuition applies, but short programs partly offset the cost. Scholarship options are reviewed before the application.

A campus in central London; we'll help with housing options.

After graduation. Whether you can work after getting your degree depends on the current visa rules of the UK — we will help you review the up-to-date options before graduation.

The strong fields of Le Cordon Bleu London are cuisine and restaurant Management. As at most universities in the UK, students have access to a career centre, job fairs and internships — use them from the first semesters: hands-on experience is decisive for the first job.

An alternative track is further study: a bachelor’s degree earned in the UK opens master’s programs worldwide, and a master’s strengthens your position on the job market.
