Overrated.

In my experience, this business school is considerably more hyped than the actual value it delivers. While the marketing and reputation may create high expectations, the learning experience often falls short. One of the biggest concerns is the lack of placement support. Students are largely expected to manage their career opportunities on their own, which can be disappointing given the investment made in the program. Academically, many subjects are covered only at a surface level. The curriculum tends to focus on providing a broad overview rather than developing deep understanding or practical expertise. Most topics are wrapped up in just one or two classes, which is rarely enough to gain meaningful knowledge or build strong skills. As a result, students are often left to do significant self-learning if they want to truly understand the material. While the school introduces a wide range of business concepts, it doesn't always provide the depth, rigour, or hands-on learning that many students expect from a quality business education. Overall, I found the institution to be somewhat overrated, with the reputation and hype exceeding the actual learning outcomes and career support provided.

Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

The review

ie university is the best university in the world, they education system is the best and infrastructure. It's the best university to put your child to I'm very happy with it i dont wanna lie l. Please go for it

Studying at CEU prepared me for the world.

Studying Advertising and public relations at CEU Cardenal Herrera was an enriching and transformative experience. One thing I standout is the combined theoretical and practical skills we learned throughout the career. We work hand on hand with well known brands that give us a profesional view and a bigger understanding of the profesional world. The multicultural environment at CEU help me develop cultural sensibility and open my perspective because of the diverse backgrounds. The most enriching experience was living in the amazing city en Valencia, its stunning architecture and its amazing food. I graduated feeling confident and prepared to enter to the professional world.

Completely unorganized

My experience as an Erasmus student was not that good. Starting from the teachers, they are supposed to teach in English but they just don't know the language very well, that is why the performance is poor as well as what arrives to the student in terms of study content. To follow with the complete lack of heating system in all the buildings except for the library (where the people who don't use laptops like to occupy the only few spots with sockets). The organization is very poor, it will very often happen that a communication of a canceled class will not be done, having you waking up early in the morning to find out there was not class that day, not to count that 1 hour and half spent on the bus to go and come back from the university (if you live in La Merced and don't have a bike, which would easily get stolen after 2 days after the purchase).

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
