Entry and Applications

"The University of Adelaide is no longer accepting enrolments in the Le Cordon Bleu Graduate Program in Gastronomy.  Both the University and Le Cordon Bleu are committed to honouring their obligations to students who are currently enrolled in the program, and the University will contact any student affected by the change."

The normal minimum entry requirement for the program is a Bachelor Degree plus English language proficiency (IELTS score of 6.5 in the Academic Module, or equivalent).

Applications from individuals without a Bachelor Degree will also be considered, with relevant specialist experience and expertise taken into account, although students accepted on this basis will initially be admitted only for the award of Professional Certificate of Gastronomy and must achieve Credit grade (65%) or higher in order to continue.

Fees
This is a full fee paying program: fees for 2009 are $AUD5,500* for each course or $AUD27,500** for the full Master of Arts in Gastronomy award.

Australian citizens and holders of permanent visas may be eligible for FEE-HELP, a Government loan scheme that assists postgraduate students to pay tuition fees. The Government pays the amount of the loan directly to the University, and after graduation students repay the loan through the tax system, once their income exceeds the minimum threshold.

Tax deductibility
Self-education expenses may be a tax deduction or may meet the requirements of your employer's professional development program.
