McDonald’s is introducing its own degree course in business management for its restaurant bosses in the UK.
The foundation degree, which will be accredited by Manchester Metropolitan University, marks the fast-food company’s latest move into education.
McDonald’s apprenticeship scheme, launched 18 months ago, has been given a “good” rating by Ofsted.
Senior vice-president David Fairhurst says it challenges “snobbish” misconceptions about McDonald’s staff.
