Great Experience

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

Great international exposure

To me, studying at ESCP has been a really rewarding experience. The multicultural environment helped me grow both personally and professionally. Professors are very supportive and bring real-world insights into the classroom. I rlly liked the flexibility to study in different campuses across Europe. Although some admin processes can be slow, but overall I felt well-prepared for the job market.

Timely delivered and well structured

I have gained a lot from my paper reviews, all courses and programme in general were delivered timely. The procedure on the path towards a doctoral degree is well structured and that was what I liked most. I would recommend ABS London especially for experienced executives looking for their career growth and personal development.

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.
