WES Canada recognizes ENEB/Isabel

[ecdw94]

WES Canada does not recognize UoPeople MBA. UK Top-up costs about $5000. way too much. We in europe would need to save for 3-4 years to get that kind of money.

Ah, sorry about that. $5,000 is not cheap to me either, but I am from North Europe, where the price of living is more expensive and the government also gives "grant" money of about $350 a month to anyone studying at a real university.

According to Spanish Law, you can transfer up to 15(?) credits from a titulo propio to a titulo oficial. I tried searching for any school in Spain that would actually accept titulo propio credits and couldn't find one (but I don't know Spanish). Unfortunately it looks like it may be time to start over and just go to a local university or another foreign university online which is cheaper than $5,000 - you as a European resident or citizen can take courses from Sweden (free), Norway ($100 USD a year), Iceland ($546/year - application fee is also waived for European citizens), I think Finland is also free or cheap, etc. They offer online courses in English with no required physical meetings, and this includes Business Administration courses.

You can register for courses from any university in Sweden including online courses, at http://www.universityadmissions.se. Just click on "filter - via distance - 0 meetings" (0 meetings means no physical meetings, it doesn't guarantee there are no required online lectures). Linnéuniversitetet, Högskolan i Gävle and Lunds Universitet are three examples of schools offering online courses in Marketing, Statistics, Consumer Behaviour etc - which could add up to a degree in Business Administration or something else (you can usually mix courses from several different schools to get your degree).
The main university in Iceland is https://english.hi.is/
A portal for courses in English from Norway is https://studyinnorway.no/

You can't normally mix courses between Sweden, Iceland and Norway (they don't transfer) but you can often transfer courses between Finland and Sweden. I don't know how it works but we had students doing that during my Bachelor's as not enough courses in the subject were actually offered at Finnish schools, they took around 3 at ours and graduated from Finland, not our school. I would not recommend it since there is more potential for something to go wrong, but if it's necessary it should be possible (like, for example, it might somehow be possible to take both full-time studies in Sweden and full-time studies in Finland then transfer the courses to one or the other school to graduate super fast - I am not sure if it is humanly possible but it might be theoretically possible).

In the case of Sweden, all you need to do is upload proof of European residency or citizenship to get the tuition automatically waivered. In the case of Iceland and Norway, non-citizens pay the same price as citizens so there is no need, but (for anyone reading this not from Europe) it looks like the Norwegian government is proposing a change to that so it may not last much longer.

Well, I wasn't only looking at prices, but also those that you can do fast. On normal brick and mortar universities, you have to do a step at a time. Even if you have done all your materials, you can not take the materials/tests... Thats the problem.

I have tried to get my ENEB/Isabel Masters verified through WES Canada for immigration (IRCC) purposes. I can now confirm that WES Canada have changed their stance and will no longer validate degrees gained through ENEB. WES sent the following message to me:

Thank you for your application.

We regret to inform you that WES does not evaluate programs validated by Universidad Internacional Isabel I de Castilla but completed at the institution you attended. Because of this, we are cancelling your application. All academic documents submitted will be discarded to protect your privacy, and we will refund your full fee.

Yeah, I've never seen an accelerated program like WGU in the Nordics. They do have some at your own pace courses with recorded lectures - I'm in one now for a foreign language - but the midterm and final exams still have set dates.

It's unclear why their stance changed, but it likely relates to the new option to test out for a degree. Earning a degree through one test isn't comparable to the traditional route of multiple courses. Offering both options devalues the traditional degree, similar to the "market for lemons" concept in economics.

Well, only WES has stopped evaluating ENEB degrees. You can still use other services for evaluation for "study" reasons. Or could you define non-immigration purposes? BEsides that, look at Canada Quebec : https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB  by Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration . Someone used ENEB to study in Quebec.
