Excellent Education

I graduated from the Law program at Universidad de Lima four years ago, and my experience there was outstanding. This university offers a strong academic foundation, excellent facilities, and a vibrant student life. What stood out the most to me was the quality of the professors—many of them are respected professionals in the legal field, bringing real-world experience into the classroom. Their teaching methods were engaging and practical, which helped me develop not only theoretical knowledge but also essential skills for my career. The campus is modern, well-maintained, and equipped with everything students need—from a great library and study spaces to green areas that make it easy to take a break between classes. The university also fosters networking opportunities, both through career fairs and events where professionals come to speak about the industry. One of the few downsides was that some administrative processes could be slow or bureaucratic, but nothing too problematic. The university is quite demanding, especially in programs like Law, so students should be prepared for a challenging academic experience. However, if you are willing to put in the work, the rewards are worth it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. If you are looking for a university that balances high-quality education, strong industry connections, and an excellent campus environment, Universidad de Lima is one of the best options in Peru.

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.
