Amidst the increasing mobility of production factors, international tourism, and global commercial interactions, individuals find themselves in diverse locations, each with unique culinary preferences. This necessitates the expertise of professionals capable of designing kitchens and culinary experiences that reflect various cultures and regions. The Gastronomy and Culinary Arts (Thesis/Non-Thesis) Master's Program, situated within the Department of Gastronomy, addresses this demand by offering a postgraduate curriculum focused on the practical aspects of national and international cuisines. Recognizing the evolving consumer behavior, growing demand for new flavors, and the shift towards sustainable and healthy eating, the program emphasizes innovation-oriented food and beverage production and design. In the thesis-based program, students engage in scientific research under the guidance of their thesis advisor, culminating in the completion and defense of a thesis before a jury.
