ENEB Master Thread

[bjcheung77]

I would love to know if anyone knows whether Japan immigration could grant entry for a work visa (Gijinkoku) with an ENEB/Isabel diploma. wait, can I even enroll in ENEB without a bachelor's degree to back it up tho?  I dropped out of college a long time ago, unfortunately

It's great you're asking questions, but without knowing the bigger picture of what you bring to the table and what country you're from, almost all the info requested in the addendum, template, etc. It's really going to be hard to answer you... Only advice at the moment is to review the ENEB WIKI for details, then create a thread posting the info from the addendum, template, plus anything else you can think of.

I have a new technique for studying for and passing ENEB and other titulo propio.

Use Anki. Download the AnkiBrain extension. Take the reading PDFs, run them through a program like ABBYY Fine Reader to reduce the file size significantly because some aspects of AnkiBrain charge you according to file size. Do NOT upload files to their file storage system, I wasted quite a few cents figuring that out. In your PDF, remove all index, introductory, and other obviously useless pages.

Go to the "Make Cards" section. Customize the prompt of AnkiBrain to say "make cards very concise. do not repeat the question in the answer". Upload your edited PDF. For the most part it makes flashcards exactly like I would have.

It costs around 10 cents to make 100 flashcards. One ENEB chapter may turn into 500 flashcards. You'll still see some garbage cards you'll have to remove as you study, but the majority are good.

It can even translate information for you, so you could register for the Spanish ENEB Masters, upload the Spanish PDFs, and have it output flashcards in English. It can also translate to some minority languages which are technically unsupported. I tested it with some IRS documents and it could translate all kinds of technical tax stuff to Esperanto even though it wasn't an officially supported language.

I tried telling it to explain concepts to me using the PDFs as reference material, it did a terrible job. The plain flashcard making function is far superior. In order to explain concepts, I now use Perplexity AI (entirely free and online) which is a lot smarter than ChatGPT and the Explain section in AnkiBrain.

1) Years ago, there was a page on the MEXT scholarship website of Spain which explained titulo propio qualified for the MEXT scholarship in Japan. As MEXT is a Japanese government scholarship, that signifies to me that Japanese Immigration would accept titulo propio as equal to university degrees at the time. HOWEVER, that was a while ago, things could have changed, and I don't believe anyone has tested it. I did know a lady from Spain who almost certainly got a work visa to Japan on a titulo propio (her major was fashion design, not exactly a normal university degree) but that was way back in like 2012. You should look up a list of some of the most common titulo propio as well as international equivalents and try to see if anyone got to Japan using them without work experience.

I looked into the actual laws written in Japanese at the time, and all the laws stated was that to get a work visa you need either a finished post-secondary education worth at least 2 full years of education (of which an Associate's degree counts), or you needed at least 3 years of work experience in the field. It did NOT even mention anything about accreditation as far as I can remember. You would do good to go check the actual Japanese laws. 

Additionally, a good thing to know is Immigration is actually laxer than employers are. It is extremely difficult to find a job willing to hire you on only an associate's in Japan, or at least it still was pre-COVID, yet the law says it's ok. The same is true for USA Immigration, those guys accept foreign credit evaluations many employers wouldn't. And I can vouch for that Japanese Immigration doesn't look at degrees and transcripts too closely because there was a mistake on mine they didn't catch.

Honestly, if you don't need to go to Japan right now, I would start getting work experience in the field you want to work in in Japan asap, and have 3 years of experience plus the ENEB degree by the time you go.

I plan to go to Japan again in a couple years, at that time I will use ENEB alongside a normal Master's degree. If they give me a long-term Highly Qualified Professional visa valid for 5 years or so, it means they accepted ENEB as a valid Masters. If they give me a normal 1-year validity visa, it means they didn't. If no one else goes to Japan for us before then I will be the test.

2) ENEB doesn't require a finished degree for admissions. You have past college credits and assumably some kind of work or volunteer experience you can offer up as relevant if they do ask. My advice is don't worry about it, just buy a program when it comes on sale.

Are ENEB final projects that simple ?
I am going for the "MBA – MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION + MASTER IN FINANCIAL MARKETS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT" program and quite frankly, in less than 30 minutes I can get a final project done for a course, and there are about 20 in total...

Is it really just a matter of completing what's on the .doc and submit and wait ?

TIA

Yes they're meant to be simple for anyone who has any relevant knowledge. I have since found out that this is how WGU and a lot of other modern universities work too, it's not just a titulo propio thing. Keep in mind anyone who studied any previous subject can register for these ENEB degrees, it is really closer to something like the 1st year of a Bachelor's in content, it's not like a normal European Masters where an undergraduate degree with 3 years of credits in the field is required as a prerequisite for admissions.

I've just completed my Global  MBA, received the digital diplomas (except for Isabel I) already. I'm a bit surprised there are no diplomas for the advertised Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence and Master in Project Management. Is everyone not getting those? Their page said those are included with the Global MBA.

Why did someone just delete my comment asking about the included diplomas?

Hey everyone,

Has anyone gotten clarification about the separate diplomas? The main reason I applied for the Global MBA instead of the MBA + Master’s in Big Data and Business Intelligence was because the sales rep made it sound like the "Triple Masters" meant receiving three diplomas:

1. MBA – Master of Business Administration
   
2. Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence
   
3. Master in Project Management
   

That’s why I signed up for the Global MBA.

Looking back at the website, it does seem to support this under the "YOUR GLOBAL MBA INCLUDES" section:

• MBA – Master of Business Administration
  
• Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence
  
• Master in Project Management
  
• Diploma of Specialization in Innovation and Project Management
  
• Business Spanish Program Certificate
  

Then, just a few paragraphs below that, it says THREE DIPLOMAS:
"Upon completing your studies, you will be eligible to receive a double certification awarded by the European Business School of Barcelona, endorsed and certified by Universidad Isabel I:
- Global MBA
- Business Spanish Program Certificate (optional)
Additionally, you will obtain a Diploma of Specialization in Innovation and Project Management issued by the European Business School of Barcelona."

Does this mean the Global MBA encompasses the three master’s programs and the diploma, but we only get one digital certification (then pay for physical certification) that says “Global MBA”? Or do we actually receive separate diplomas for the MBA, Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence, and Master in Project Management?

Would love to hear if anyone has gotten clarity on this! Feel like I may have stomped my foot on this one...

Have you tried just loading relevant sections of the PDFs (say, each chapter) into ChatGPT? Which one is better in your opinion?

Anki sounds like a lot of work to me, so I’m just wondering if it’s worth the time.

[bjcheung77]

For documents and other file types such as PDF's, is there an application that can merge specific pages of a PDF with another? For example, I have X PDF's, I want to selectively grab pages from those Docx/PDF's and combine them into one... Is there an application for that? Something like a cut/paste or snipping parts that I want to review later?

[ChloeandMax]

Any degree you can purchase (especially on a Groupon) is not a legitimate or US accredited degree.  Degrees are earned, not bought. This is an offer from a diploma mill.

While I'm also highly suspicious of this based on the price, the page clearly states that you still have to complete the academic program (and that you have 24 months to do so), so it's not a simple diploma mill. I don't know how or if they're accredited (I'm guessing not), but there is more to it than just buying the degree.

A quick search results:

Thank you for your research! If it walks like a duck....

I believe I have bad news for you. 

The “three diplomas” they were referring to was 
1. The Global MBA
2. Diploma for Business Spanish
3. Diploma of Specialization in Innovation and Project Management

That’s how I understood it, at least. 
Judging from the exchanges others have had with ENEB, I think that’s that most probable case.

Any one a working coupon code for changing to the single exam evaluation method?

[IHatePickingUsernames]

For people in the U.S. who have a master's degree from ENEB and don't have a bachelor's degree, how do you list this education on your resume?

Do you list it as:

"Bachelor's Degree Equivalent – Master in XYZ"

or simply as

"Master in XYZ"?

I’m considering purchasing access to ENEB's master's for my partner, who doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree. A traditional route to earning a bachelor’s would take too much time. Afterward, we plan to have the degree evaluated by ECE to obtain documentation of its equivalency to a bachelor’s degree.

TIA!

ENEB will not award any of their master's degrees to anyone who cannot verify they have a bachelor's degree. People have learned this the hard way in the past. I'm an ENEB alumni from five years ago when the school expanded into the USA, so this is how I know.
