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.

Exploring Cloud Computing: A Game-Changer

The Cloud Computing module was one of the highlights of my course at Queen’s. It covered the fundamentals of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in detail. The best part was the group project where we designed and deployed our own cloud-based application. The hands-on experience was invaluable, and the support from the faculty was excellent. I would highly recommend this module to anyone interested in this field.

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.

Good

I liked the respect toward students and modules, and the course was designed to help busy parents and workers. Excellent staff on campus to take care of students' needs and professional tutors. Library and IT lab in our campus, good study material and one to one tuition.
