The Winchester Experience!

The University of Winchester is a great environment to study, work, and socialize. This can be seen by how The University of Winchester values the welfare of its community and students. For instance, the University cares about the environment, and the sustainability of its campus. There are as well many volunteering, campus jobs, and career opportunities, (such as funding for work placements and driving lessons) that the University offers. There is also a vast range of societies, and activities from the Pudding society to the Commuters society. The University of Winchester also ensures that Students concerns are listened too. Especially through schemes such as the Student Fellow Project, Student academic Reps, and Student senate. The University of Winchester is smaller than most universities, so staff can quickly get to know and provide detailed feedback to students. Moreover, it is a shame that a lot of these volunteering, campus jobs, and career opportunities are often badly signposted. Winchester is a beautiful and historically interesting place, but compared with other areas can be quite expensive to live in. There have also been some issues with accommodation e.g. overly sensitive fire alarms that are constantly being set off. However, the University is working on dealing with these issues. Overall, being a student at The University of Winchester has been an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend attending an open day.

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.
