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.

Great University Academically with an equally superb student life.

This is a great University which caters towards students of all kinds. The University is large and has an open campus which allows for ease of travel and access. It has a great community, and communication between peers and teachers is equally impressive. There is plenty of off sites and on-site accommodation which is modern and stylish and almost all of the accommodation is near to the city centre. Furthermore, the nightlife is excellent because of Liverpool's great city centre and surrounding areas.

quality and interesting lecturers with rich use of technology.

My programme is taught by quality lecturers! everyone seems to be very supportive and really interested in your learning. I am enjoying it so far as it is very interactive, they introduce practical examples, and monitor your progress.

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.
