Overrated.

In my experience, this business school is considerably more hyped than the actual value it delivers. While the marketing and reputation may create high expectations, the learning experience often falls short. One of the biggest concerns is the lack of placement support. Students are largely expected to manage their career opportunities on their own, which can be disappointing given the investment made in the program. Academically, many subjects are covered only at a surface level. The curriculum tends to focus on providing a broad overview rather than developing deep understanding or practical expertise. Most topics are wrapped up in just one or two classes, which is rarely enough to gain meaningful knowledge or build strong skills. As a result, students are often left to do significant self-learning if they want to truly understand the material. While the school introduces a wide range of business concepts, it doesn't always provide the depth, rigour, or hands-on learning that many students expect from a quality business education. Overall, I found the institution to be somewhat overrated, with the reputation and hype exceeding the actual learning outcomes and career support provided.

Esic university Valencia is the worst university ever 😡

Worst university ever, I’m an İNTERNATİONAL student who came just for one semester for ERASMUS from another institution. It was the worst experience ever in my life, Esic university treated me so badly. The ERASMUS coordinator is really disrespectful and he didn’t even do a welcoming day for the new students. We didn’t get any training on how we can adapt to the university's system. First, they told us it is a hybrid system, which is not the case. This is the first lie from a higher education institution. They are really trying to push me to fail administration and also teachers I really feel it’s a religious problem about where I come from , plus I did all of my exams perfectly. Now I’m surprised that one teacher wants me to fail because I didn’t do one exercise ( just one in all semester lol) , my exam was perfect now she doesn’t want to show me my results and told me that she will make me fail because of one exercise. It is not fair and no one from the administration wants to help me as an Erasmus student, but I feel there is a difference between me and Spanish nationalities. Now I will take my legal right. They really discriminated against me in every way I’m really sad how I got used and treated this badly and also this issue has now become a personal issue, I really don’t recommend any İNTERNATİONAL students to join ESIC Valencia it’s the worst university on planet earth 😡

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.

Master in criminology and social intervention with minors

The academic content of the master has been very interesting to me and I think I have learned a lot. Coordination I think it can improve since in the subjects taught by more than one teacher I have identified a lack of coherence. In relation to the practices, several problems have arisen since, when working with the juvenile protection or penal system, on several occasions it has taken more than the appropriate period to accept the practices. Also the list of centers that were offered last year, at which point I had to choose, this year they were not offered. However, the content of the master seems very good to me.

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.
