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.

Awesome university.

The best thing about the university is that the system does not ask too much for outputs, which emphasizes learning and student self-discovery. As a business student, there is no better way of learning to think for oneself than when a student has time to venture out into the real world. Other universities, as far as people who informed me, still use exams and quizzes to gauge a student's ability. While these can be helpful academically, a student would have no time other than the aim of passing the modules. Bath Spa University does the opposite: it requires at least one or two maximum outputs per module in a given course (business administration, e.g.). The best thing this year is the weekend class option. I am only required to attend my classes once a week. This shows how the university is willing to provide flexibility to working or generally busy students. Regardless, besides being attentive to the student's learning and schedule needs, the university also does a great job at providing modules that are important. What I did not like so far is that we had no general finance modules. As a business student, learning about stocks and IPO is crucial and this was not covered in my BA program.

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.
