Good Experience
i am only started my study here. i met up with my course teacher and fellows, they are so nice and helpful.
Possibility to choose
At Laurea we have the opportunity to be involved in many projects. You can create your own curriculum, which is a big plus. Teachers are always ready to help students with their problems.
Investment is needed to upgrade facilities
As of now 2023, the campus is bit outdated but the educational organization of UAS Laurea is planning to build a new campus to replace the old one. Many like it, many hate it, certainly the same in everything. I liked it myself, but everyone has their own opinion. A lot of group work, and as far as I know, hospitality management students still work in the school kitchen for the first six months. It seems to be a little over 20 shifts, so not too bad if you really want to focus on the. Thanks to friends and good class spirit, it's nice to come to school. But as with everything, that place is not made for everyone. I have both bad and good experiences. But if you have the desire to learn, you can go far by putting in the effort yourself :)
