" I had an overall positive experience at UCB. The subject I studied has allowed me to find work relatively fast and the lecturers always work to improve teaching modules. The accommodation services could be managed a bit better, the costs were much higher than initially expected. "

" This is a great university. Every member of the staff is ready to help any time. Concerning my studies, the programme is very complete. I learned a lot in both an academic and practical way. If I had to state a disadvantage, it would be that the gym is small. However, it is brand new. "

" Great university, with some lovely staff members who are always there to help. However for such a practical course, I found it heavily academically based with lots of essays and not actually much makeup application opportunities. "
