ENEB Master Thread

[nykorn]

Just took the MBA + Project Management combined exam. Got 80%.

As other have stated, THAT exam did have duplicate questions as well as several questions (6, including duplicates!) which did not take the correct answer. I have written to ENEB about it. Of the remaining wrong answers, 1 was one of the same ones from the Hotel & Tourism that I couldn't find the answer to anywhere, 1 was me just plain misreading the answer where two answers had almost the same wording, and 1 was that I just spaced out and clicked the wrong answer.

Additionally, 6 or so of the questions were the same between the Hotel & Tourism exam and the MBA + Project Management exam. This isn't crazy, as they do have several chapters in common.

I had a question about the Global MBA and it was discussed here by others two. I contacted ENEB and if you complete Master in BI and PM alongside a MBA you can purchase the diploma that shows that you are awarded a Global MBA from Isabel I.

I feels like by taking the Global MBA option when ordering the diploma will put you a disadvantage compared to a 2 degree diploma. For example, if you take MBA + Master in Big Data, in additional to the 2 ENEB degrees, you will get 1 MBA and 1 Master in Big Data Isabel diploma.
However, if you have 3 degrees, although you get the 3 papers from ENEB, you will only get 1 from Isabel. They call it Global MBA and make no mention of the big data or Project Management that you also took.

I could be wrong, but I feel a "larger" diploma with more credits on it may have a small chance of getting a more favorable result from some Foreign Credit Evaluators or may look better to potential employers, because the global diploma is 90 ECTS (generally seen as 1.5 years of education) in one diploma, instead of most of their other degree offerings which are 60-72 credits (generally seen as 1 year of education). And FCEs are known for, among other things, shaving off credit hours in order to justify a "not equivalent" result. It's a shame there is no 2 year credit version as that could bump up the value of these degrees by a lot. I would also love it if you could take ALL their programs listed, and get a 3 year Master's diploma out of it.

Googling around, this credit stuff is actually a nightmare. Apparently what ECTS equals out to in US credits can actually be different from school to school in the states, which is part of how the FCEs can justify shaving off hours. While most Master's start at 90 ECTS, a couple fields such as MBAs tend to be 60-72 ECTS. This causes a problem because some PhDs in Europe require 300 ECTS total between your Bachelor's and Master's, and others require a 120 ECTS Master's regardless of your Bachelor's, which is probably why some countries will never see the ENEB Master's as a real Master's regardless of accreditation status - the amount of credits just don't add up.

My mistake in my wording earlier: By textbook I mean the ENEB pdfs. I personally merged them into one big file for ease of use.

I just realized I actually registered for the MBA + Hotel. A month or two later I registered for the separate Master's in Project Management (no attached MBA).

The exam was instead for an MBA + Project Management, and a separate Master's in Hotel. Wondering how my diplomas will look.

I think you need to send a email,from eneb.Raise your doublts with the Diploma Department.

It's ok, I actually think this way looks more like what potential employers want.

As I have passed my exams, I am now going to embark on completing the Spanish for Business certificate, which I have not seen many people mention doing in this forum. While the materials look daunting at first, on closer inspection all you actually need to do to get the certificate is one single writing assignment. Here is my plan:

- Play at least 2 Pokemon games in Spanish, and read one news article (or something else) from Spain, a little every day. No dictionaries or translations. When googling about ENEB itself, I found I can already get the basic gist of news articles even without knowing any Spanish.
- After completing Pokemon, get chat-gpt4 to test me on the contents of each of the 3 Spanish for Business pdfs. If I do poorly, I will need to play more videogames and read more news articles.
- I may end up registering for another course or titulo propio that grants ECTS, from a place cheaper than ENEB and entirely in Spanish, in something that I can actually use in my career field. That would force me to read higher level materials and to do writing output. When researching, I found that several schools granting degrees are accredited only in their Spanish courses, so this would open up a lot more opportunities for cheap accredited education, and it will help make my ENEB education seem more legit if I actually learned how to read/write in Spanish.

I have something like 15 months left to complete the Spanish for Business course, so I think this will be easily done.

I asked ENEB about the Global MBA diploma and did not receive an answer yet. I ordered the physical copy with apostille when they had the discount in October.

For Germany it is important that the Isabel diploma states all degrees explicit (MBA, Master X and Master Y), so you can use them in your CV e. g. Only when the diploma is issued by an accredited university Germany will allow to use the degrees, so the ENEB diplomas are not enough.

- Play at least 2 Pokemon games in Spanish..

Well, ENEB won't just fix the test or my grades, for the questions that the test won't accept as correct. Their reply to me was "If you have any doubts about the syllabus, please contact your tutor so that we can check the exam information properly." Even though I copy-pasted the test number, test questions and what the course materials said. This is the first ever "bad customer service" reply I've ever gotten from them.

I have now sent the whole thing to one of my two tutors on the campus website, so hopefully they fix something.
