My study experience at Laurea has been genuinely positive and meaningful. I appreciated how the courses encouraged reflection, personal growth, and independent learning. The teachers were supportive, and the study materials were clear and practical, which helped me connect theory to real situations. What I liked most was the balance between flexibility and guidance. I could work at my own pace, but I never felt alone in the process. The international environment also made learning richer and more inspiring. For improvement, I think the study unit could offer more short examples or model answers at the start of each assignment. This would help students understand expectations more clearly. Small check‑ins or short video explanations during the course would also make the learning experience smoother. Overall, my time at Laurea has helped me grow academically and personally. I feel more confident, organised, and aware of my strengths as a learner.
i am only started my study here. i met up with my course teacher and fellows, they are so nice and helpful.
As of now 2023, the campus is bit outdated but the educational organization of UAS Laurea is planning to build a new campus to replace the old one.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 :)
