The teachers, the encouragement they give you,

I chose this university because some friends who had studied there had told me it was a great experience, and it's true. It has excellent facilities and a faculty that always encourages you to do your best. They motivate you a lot and guide you in a way I hadn't seen before. They are very approachable professors and are attentive to how they can optimize your studies. I made good friends there, I have good memories of that experience, and I might even pursue some further studies because it left a very positive impression on me.

Some improvements to be made

In my opnion is not a bad university but most of the teachers have many titles and certificates that say they are very good on the discipline they teach but they are not very good in the teaching skill. I can understand that some subjects could be boring but I think they can do better effort to encourage the students in their subjects. The approach to the teachers is not bad at all, the time for having an answer to an e-mail is 1 or 2 days (not involving weekends). The classes and most of the facilities (at least in Fuenlabrada) are new and comfortable both for teachers and students. The social aspect maybe is the worse of this university (and most of the Spanish ones I think), because the students come to class from many different places and after the classes most of the link between classmates breaks, so you can´ not do university lifestyle. The Double Degree in BMA+Law that I am doing the overall thinking is that it would be useful for the future so the hopes about the future are high.

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.

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.

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.

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!
