I am an international student who comes from Hong Kong. I would start my master's degree (Cultural Management) in September 2022. The school have so many programmes for international students and focuses on the exchange and development of talents of the international students. Moreover, the university provides so many internship programmes for students to choose from each semester. I graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Cultural Management. The universities in Hong Kong are all of a high ranking and have excellent academic performances in both Chinese and English. Moreover, the school provides many extracurricular activities for students.

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.

Nothing to show

Good, but worthy of improvement

The life in Murcia is simply great! A lot of tapas bars, bars, clubs etc. which are affordable for students! During the courses at UCAM, I got to know so many international people who got really good friends in the meanwhile. The only shortcoming is that several professors have difficulties to explain their ideas in English, because of the language barrier. But this does not concern every teacher. Furthermore, the teaching staff is not only about professors but about people having their own business and talking about their own experiences. All in all the education is pretty good at UCAM. But the working-life balance is even better. "Savoir-Vivre!"

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.

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.

Masters international Management

I enjoyed this programe, academically is it similar to other programs in other cities but it offers so much more. The personal connection with professors, strong guidance for future career and the international network is what separates it from other options!
