Main Components of École Ducasse and Peruvian University Partnership

USIL Students and Alumni will get access to the prestigious short-term and long-term programs of École Ducasse. The students will get advanced culinary and pastry skills to succeed in this career.

École Ducasse designed two exclusive summer programs for USIL Students including "Best-of Alain Ducasse” and "The Arts of French Pastry". Both are a four-week-long program in English.

Under "The Arts of French Pastry", expert pastry chefs will impart knowledge about the intricacies of French pastry. In "Best-of Alain Ducasse", the student will get a comprehensive knowledge about the philosophy of Chef Alain Ducasse and culinary techniques.

This partnership will offer unique opportunities for students to experience intercultural exchanges, and develop skills, and academic and professional pathways. The USIL students will not only learn the techniques but will also get an opportunity to immerse themselves in the French culinary culture which is renowned globally for its innovation and refinement. Both institutes are planning to combine their expertise and resources to offer exceptional training and development opportunities for students.
