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.

Cranfield School of Business

For the campus is going 10/10, a lovely place, comfortable ambience and cozy life you can have. Especially people who want switch from capital city to tranquil area. The natural campus provides soothe accommodations, facilities and communities. For the course is going to 7/10, sufficient practical and hands-on programme while your main modules. However, some styles of professor you might take more time to familiar with it. Most of modules blend academic logical and company's project. Moreover, the UK's MSc has just one year, so it makes you feel intensive and stressful. Especially some assignments are not easy to accomplishment in a limited time. For the communities, includes club, social life and corporate competition, could be 8/10. In Cranfield, as an unique campus which only provides MSc

Cranfield university, the pinnacle of higher education

Having worked in the finance sector for over half a decade, my programme (MSc Finance and Management) repositioned my existing knowledge of the sector practically and theoretically through a predominantly quantitative approach to financial management studies. The Cranfield School of management has incredibly educated, experienced, and professional tutors to fit each and every module offered. The finance Information Technology (IT) resources in the faculty's possession are world-class and up-to-date, providing real-time data analysis and research solutions. I also had the opportunity to meet intelligently amazing people (co-students) from all works of life. The university environment is serene, comfortable, and accommodating. The alumni network is far-reaching and supportive. In summary, I had an extraordinarily memorable experience studying for my MSc in Finance and Management at Cranfield University. I highly recommend the University to prospective students

LJMU: a home away from home.

My experience at LJMU has been parred none and has exceeded my expectations. The facilities are superb and staff members are accommodating, approachable and welcoming. Honestly speaking, attending LJMU feels like a home away from home. Socially the university has a very inclusive culture. I cannot speak for all programs, but the MA in Education has been life and career-transforming for me. I am very happy I chose LJMU.

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.
