Why study in Melbourne?
Melbourne is ranked as Australia's most livable city - and it's easy to see why. Often referred to as a foodie's paradise, Melbourne is famed for its thriving restaurant and café culture, rich art and music scene, cultural diversity and bayside location. Plus, it's home to many of Australia's acclaimed chefs, offering cuisines from across the world. This eclectic Australian city has something for everyone and, with two Le Cordon Bleu campuses in Moorabbin and Chadstone, there's never a dull moment on and off campus.

Climate
Melbourne's climate is temperate with mild winters and pleasantly warm summers. The city is well-known for its changeable weather conditions with unpredictable temperatures most pronounced in spring and summer. Strong cold fronts from the sea, and westerly winds contribute to temperature swings, leading to Melbourne's reputation for having four seasons in one day.

Distance from Melbourne city centre to Chadstone campus
Melbourne's public transport service is exceptional, with buses and trains frequently departing the city for the suburbs. The distance from the city centre to our Chadstone campus is approximately 28 minutes.

Testimonials

Studying a master's at Le Cordon Bleu really gave me an understanding of the basic concepts of leadership and management which has assisted me with all my roles to-date. Apart from the extensive learnings from well-experienced facilitators, the part I loved most was forming relationships with my peers along the way.

Ketan Kulkarni - Master of International Hospitality Management
Choosing Le Cordon Bleu was an easy choice. The institution is world-renowned for its quality offerings and, looking back, I can definitely say studying a master's has helped me in my professional development overall.

Ram Bharadwaj, Master of International Hospitality Management
The topics provide a range of learning opportunities for students to use throughout the lifecycle of their career. I still refer back to subjects such as Accounting Practices now, even as a hotel general manager.

Katie Obst, Bachelor of Business
Le Cordon Bleu had the reputation and history I was looking for in a university, so it was an obvious choice.

Yurav Pawar - Master of International Hospitality Management
The Le Cordon Bleu degree is so good because the last six months are on-the-job in industry placement. I get to do a real work placement which enhances my employment prospects.

Sarah Kalisimeras - Master of International Hospitality Management
Everything I learned at Le Cordon Bleu has amazing value in the workplace. Without Le Cordon Bleu and my commitment to lifelong learning this job (as Brand Experience Manager at Pernod Ricard Winemakers) would never have happened.

Eileen Low - Master of International Hospitality Management
The Master’s degree was an opportunity to refine and polish my skills, and yes, you do learn while working, but there is a certain expertise and career advantage that only postgraduate study can give you.
