ADE Course

Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.

MBA Deusto

The DBS MBA is a master's degree for people who really want to learn a lot in a relatively short time, to do so they use a very dynamic and fast-paced work methodology, and in my opinion very useful and effective. In addition, teamwork is encouraged almost at all times, values that are highly valued if you come from more autonomous training such as engineering. The more purely theoretical training is also combined with real cases of entrepreneurship or experiences of successful people with high experience in the business world. Without a doubt, quality-price, I think it is the best master's degree you can opt for. Of course, being part of the Deusto Business School will greatly facilitate your access to the world of work, as well as a great networking network.

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.
