Career-supportive!

Curtin University is greta for those who are very "career-centric"; the university itself places great emphasis on how to find internships and jobs and are very supportive in that regard. The university is also one that places importance on social networking, whether that be through clubs, discord servers and affordable or free social events. One thing I do dislike however is the disorganisation in some courses or how little spaces there can be for classes (this might be specific to my major/course though). Overall I have enjoyed my time here so far.

Exceptional

My experience at Australian National University has been amazing I love the vibrant atmosphere on campus, which offers a diverse range of activities, plenty of green spaces, and a wide variety of organizations, sports teams, and events to choose from - there's always something that suits my interests. What's even more impressive is the support I've received from my professors, who have gone above and beyond to help me grow both academically and personally. Their dedication to student success is truly exceptional.

Courses

The degree matched its expectation and was in line with goals set before starting the degree. The most important aspect of the degree was to build the latest skills in my domain and be able to interact with the industry. Both of these were well provided by the university. Would definitely recommend it to others.

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.
