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.

Awesome university.

The best thing about the university is that the system does not ask too much for outputs, which emphasizes learning and student self-discovery. As a business student, there is no better way of learning to think for oneself than when a student has time to venture out into the real world. Other universities, as far as people who informed me, still use exams and quizzes to gauge a student's ability. While these can be helpful academically, a student would have no time other than the aim of passing the modules. Bath Spa University does the opposite: it requires at least one or two maximum outputs per module in a given course (business administration, e.g.). The best thing this year is the weekend class option. I am only required to attend my classes once a week. This shows how the university is willing to provide flexibility to working or generally busy students. Regardless, besides being attentive to the student's learning and schedule needs, the university also does a great job at providing modules that are important. What I did not like so far is that we had no general finance modules. As a business student, learning about stocks and IPO is crucial and this was not covered in my BA program.

Loved every minute of my time at Worcester!

I have recently completed my nursing degree at the University of Worcester and can honestly say I loved every minute of my time there. The uni itself is a bright and modern space with many facilities on campus, for example, a cafe, Starbucks, Costa, student union, a campus shop, lots of computers, student services, academic writing support etc. The main thing I liked the most about Worcester was the sheer amount of support I received over my three years of nurse training. I went through many tough times both academically and in my personal life and there was always someone there to give me help and support from my personal tutor to student services. The university also has a library on a separate campus not too far away (within walking distance) called the Hive which is a purpose-built university and public library. There are hundreds of computers to use and the variety of books on offer is huge. I always used to go here to do any work as there were quiet areas too. I can’t comment on the accommodation as I lived at home whilst studying, but I have heard good things about the accommodation. In terms of nursing, the university has a small building on the main campus site which is dedicated to nursing and other health courses as it has mannequins where skills can be practised safely in small groups. All the nursing lecturers were amazing, so knowledgeable and approachable. If I want to do a postgraduate course in the future, I will definitely be returning to Worcester. I’m so sad to leave as it has really been the time of my life!

Every professor who works in this university is very nice!

University of Leeds located in the downtown of Leeds. The experience at the University of Leeds is special since teachers are quite friendly and helpful whenever you need help. Also,the school facilities are perfect,almost every building has a rest and coffee area for students to discuss teamwork. And there are three libraries of different sizes which are wonderful. I chose my 7 star hotel apartment which is 15 mins walk distance from the business school and serve free breakfast every morning. This apartment does not belong to my university,therefore I have no idea about the accommodation which offered by the University of Leeds.

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.
