DIVERSITY

One of my favourite aspects about Hult is its diversity. By meeting people from all over the world with diverse histories and customs, you can get a sense of what their home nations are like. I also enjoy the help the staff provides every step of the way.

The community

I am originally from the USA but decided to pursue my Masters degree in London. My university has a large diverse community of students. I was able to thrive in this environment as I was accepted for being myself. I am Proud to be a SOAS graduate.

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.
