UMVA has learned that École Ducasse Manila has just opened enrollment for its elite professional culinary and pastry programs, inviting aspiring chefs to step into a world where flavor meets artistry.
In this new season, the renowned institute promises hands‑on instruction from master chefs who have trained on the global stage, ensuring every student leaves with the skills to create dishes that tell a story.
Students will learn to balance technique and creativity, mastering everything from classic French techniques to bold, contemporary twists that push culinary boundaries.
Meanwhile, the creative sparks at Enderun College have ignited a fresh wave of interior design talent, as students bring their bold visions to life in the campus‑wide project known as “The Palimpsest.”
These young designers transformed abandoned spaces into living canvases, layering textures, colors, and light to reveal new narratives with each change.
The project showcases how design can evolve, much like a palimpsest, where each new layer respects the past while boldly stepping into the future.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that both institutions are setting a new benchmark for experiential learning, blending rigorous training with real‑world creativity.
With these initiatives, culinary and design students are not just learning skills—they are crafting careers that will shape the industries they love.
