Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

Networking

Esade has been a great start for my career. You have the opportunity to learn a lot from classes, but also from the people (professors and other students). They really help you to do your first steps in the world, referrings to your career

The review

ie university is the best university in the world, they education system is the best and infrastructure. It's the best university to put your child to I'm very happy with it i dont wanna lie l. Please go for it

MBA Deusto

The DBS MBA is a master's degree for people who really want to learn a lot in a relatively short time, to do so they use a very dynamic and fast-paced work methodology, and in my opinion very useful and effective. In addition, teamwork is encouraged almost at all times, values that are highly valued if you come from more autonomous training such as engineering. The more purely theoretical training is also combined with real cases of entrepreneurship or experiences of successful people with high experience in the business world. Without a doubt, quality-price, I think it is the best master's degree you can opt for. Of course, being part of the Deusto Business School will greatly facilitate your access to the world of work, as well as a great networking network.

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.
