Confectioners with a university degree

The Guild of Hungarian Confectioners and Szent István University (SZIE) have signed a cooperation agreement. In the joint education programme – which commenced in 2017 and is announced every other year – participants can learn everything about chocolate, coffee and tea making, and acquire in-depth knowledge about the basics of chemistry, how the senses work, legal and economic matters and technological skills. This is the first course in the country where confectioners can earn a university degree.

The partnership agreement was signed at the SZIE campus in Buda on 7 July, World Chocolate Day. Within the framework of the cooperation, from 28 August until 4 September the guild’s new educational workshop hosted confectionery demonstrations for chocolate, coffee and tea making master engineer students.

Applications for the training are already awaited
