Enderun Colleges is a private non-sectarian undergraduate college that offers degree and non-degree programs in International Hospitality Management, Business Administration, Information Systems and Entrepreneurship.

It was established in 2005, then in its former campus in Wynsum Corporate Plaza in Ortigas Center. In 2008, it moved to its permanent 1.7-hectare campus in McKinley Hill, Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila.[1][2]

Enderun takes it name from Enderun, the palace school established in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire where the most promising children were educated in, among other things, public administration.[3]

Enderun Colleges’ bachelor’s degree programs are accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).[4]

Campus

Built on nearly two hectares in the McKinley Hill area of Bonifacio Global City, the campus currently has four buildings—the enderun tent which is used for private parties and events, the Hotel Administration Center, the College of Business and Entrepreneurship, and Ducasse Institute Philippines. The Hotel Administration Center and the College of Business and Entrepreneurship buildings, inspired by Asian colonial architecture, contain classrooms, faculty rooms, and administration offices. Enderun collaborated with Ducasse Education in conceptualizing and creating the Ducasse Institute Philippines. The design and arrangements were constructed in conformity to the specifications of Ducasse Education. It features state-of-the-art kitchen and teaching facilities.[18][19] Located at the ground floor of the culinary center is Restaurant 101, a student-manned restaurant.[19] [20]

Academics

Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management

Enderun offers a Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management with specialization in Hotel Administration or Culinary Arts.[21]

For the specialization in Hotel Administration, Enderun is partnered with Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Switzerland. The partnership allows students to earn a Certificate in Hospitality Operations from Les Roches. The Les Roches certificate program, which is fully integrated into the Enderun curriculum, allows Enderun students who pass a qualifying exam to gain Les Roches certification after only two years of study in the Philippines. After earning the certificate, students have the option of completing their four-year degree at Enderun or of transferring to Les Roches campuses in Switzerland or Marbella, Spain, earning their degree in Europe.[3]

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

Enderun’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration has a global business theme at its core, training students to develop an international outlook and to start building a global career. There are three majors under Business Administration – Marketing Management (specialization in Digital Marketing), Operations Management (specialization in Business Process Management and Consulting) and Financial Management (specialization in Wealth Management).[22][23]

Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (with focus on family enterprise)

The Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship is designed for students who want to start a business or expand and develop an existing family business. Students have optional concentrations that are relevant to their business. It offers the opportunity to customize the student’s junior and senior year to take advantage of the school’s culinary arts and restaurant management programs.[23][24]

For the Business Administration and Entrepreneurship program, Enderun Colleges is partnered with Thunderbird Online, a professional development division of Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona, USA. Students can expect an integration of online learning with in-classroom instruction. Upon completion of a three-course track from Thunderbird Online, students will receive an Executive Certificate in Global Leadership after graduation.[12][13][14]
