University degrees in baking are normally start from Level 4 and run through to Level 6 which is a Bachelor's Degree. Depending on the university that you choose, will depend on the degree you will achieve, as there are science degrees (BSc) and arts degrees (BA). Once you have completed your degree, the job market in the baking industry opens up much wider, meaning you can start on more money and in more technical areas within the industry, such as ingredients suppliers and technical support.
