Enderun Colleges is proud to be the home to the first École Ducasse outside of France and its regional hub in Southeast Asia.

ÉCOLE DUCASSE was founded by Alain Ducasse, a world-renowned French chef with over 21 Michelin stars and the first chef with three restaurants to be awarded with three Michelin stars at the same time. École Ducasse was established with a strong global vision in mind: to become the world reference in culinary and pastry arts and in l’art de recevoir. With training centers in operation in France since 1999, the school focuses on delivering the best education available in the fields of gastronomy and hospitality.

It is also the only culinary school attached to a renowned chef and equally renowned group. Being part of École Ducasse connects future chefs to a worldwide network of Ducasse chefs, who all carry the same discipline and principles imparted by Alain Ducasse.

The academic partnership between Enderun Colleges and Ėcole Ducasse also opens the door for students to take international internships in prestigious kitchens around the world, including Alain Ducasse’s own Michelin-starred restaurants, Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse in Paris and Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester in London.
