University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

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.
