Mike Edwards

I studied for three years at the College of Food at University College Birmingham, gaining Level 3 qualifications in Kitchen and Larder, and Pastry. After completing my studies, I left and travelled around the UK, working in fine-dining restaurants and hotels until I made the decision to go into teaching.

Since working at University College Birmingham, I have had the honour of training and supporting Junior Team England to 2 European culinary competitions, 1 Culinary Olympics and 1 Culinary World Cup (6 silver medals and 1 bronze).

My main focus is teaching Culinary Arts Management and Chef Managers of the future.

I am part of the teaching team for the Masters in Culinary Arts Management- Managing Across Cultures & Culinary Innovation and Product Development
