Culinary Arts Management BA (Hons)
From a young age, Sav has always been passionate about food and hospitality, with a particular interest in both cooking and the business behind great dining experiences. This passion led them to study Culinary Arts Management at University College Birmingham.
The standout experience of their studies was completing a 12-month placement as a commis chef at The Landmark London. The role allowed them to gain hands-on industry experience, build confidence, and apply their learning in a professional kitchen environment.
Alongside academic support from lecturers, CASE resources, and wellbeing services, they also built strong friendships with students from around the world.
Reflecting on their experience, Sav believe's UCB has provided far more than a degree — helping them grow personally, professionally, and academically. Their long-term ambition is to one day open their own Thai restaurant in the UK, using the skills and knowledge gained during their time at UCB.
