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.

International experience

During my first year at the university of Westminster I was able to come to three conclusions. The first one is that the university is a great place to connect to people from all around the world, is it also a great place to find friends and teachers that help you find yourself. Second conclusion is that it is not always so fun and beautiful, it is a hard path, where you learn how to be responsible, and that every action that you take for your future has a consequence. It is also a great place to learn from your mistakes and become a better person, you get in contact with different people that teach you many things. Third conclusion is that it is a very cozy place, I love my university because it has a nice and cozy vibe, it is a modern building but inside is very nice. I love how the institution tries to make its students feel comfortable inside.

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.
