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.

Science major

The Chemistry and Biology program at the University of Bath is exceptional for students who enjoy hands-on learning. Weekly lab sessions are a highlight, allowing us to apply theoretical concepts in a practical environment. The facilities are state-of-the-art, and the support from PhD demonstrators during lab sessions is invaluable. The interdisciplinary approach of combining chemistry with biology opens up diverse career paths in research, healthcare, and industry. The tutorials are small and interactive, fostering a supportive learning environment where complex topics are broken down effectively. However, the workload can be intense, especially during exam periods, requiring strong time management skills. The placement year is another major advantage, offering industry exposure that enhances career prospects.

Amazing teaching

It’s a good place to study with lots of activities to do do and with a lot of useful resources as they have a 4 floor library which is great to find studies or even a quite place to study. The modules are set out perfectly with all the content already put up in advance for the students to have a look at so that they can study in advance and have a look through before lessons.

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.
