ENEB Master Thread

[nykorn]

Well they got my money again. I switched to the exam format for my 3 degrees, which they call the "Global Exam" and price at $314 USD. I'll update you guys on how the exam went, they don't let you take it right away.

I tried to search about titulo propio in Swedish for Sweden out of curiosity. Nothing came up in Google or the main Swedish forum. However I found the following related information which sounds exactly like the restrictions of a titulo propio just not under that name. Here is a translation:

"A magisterexamen is 60 credits (1 year), a Masterexamen is 120 credits (2 years)." ("examen" means "degree" in Swedish).

ESEI Business School in Spain offers a 1 year degree, which the Spanish school calls a Master and titulo propio, which Sweden is calling a "magisterexamen". The price is roughly the same as what ENEB lists on their homepage. I find several similar results, all called "magisterexamen" by Sweden.

Info from an official site: "A degree from any country is obviously valid all over the world. However in Sweden there are special careers including doctor, dentist, psychologist and nurse. You must ask the Health & Welfare Bureau to see if your foreign degree in these special categories is valid as equal to a degree of the same obtained in Sweden. If the degree is deemed NOT valid, you would need to do complementary education in Sweden regarding only the courses which are deemed to be missing, such as Swedish language courses, and then you would need to ask for a new decision from the government. (Their example is a foreign high school diploma, which requires Swedish classes to count as high school graduation in Sweden.)

If you are not working in one of those special restricted fields, you can practice your career without asking the government about equivalency. In that case it is entirely up to your employer on if they see your degree is equivalent or not. If they are having trouble deciding, or if you want to work in a restricted career and need to know if your degree is equivalent, one of you can ask "Universitet och Högskolerådet" and get free advice about the matter.

The following careers are regulated and need equivalency to Swedish degrees: lawyer, attorney, patent attorney, pharmacist, pharmaceutical prescriptionist, work therapist, psychologist, psychotherapist, audionom, AUTHORIZED interpreter or translator (for things like hospital appointment or legal translations), midwife, biomedicinal analysist, fire prevention control, dietist, veterinarian, animal nurse, electrical installer, real estate agent, blacksmith, chiropractor, logoped, doctor, teacher in the PUBLIC school system, naprapat, optician, orthopedic engineer, psychologist, psychotherapist, nurse, x-ray nurse, physical rehabilitationist, dentist assistant, dentist, guardman (against fire, theft, etc). There may be additional restricted careers, under special directive."

So, that is to say, a titulo propio does not even necessarily stop you from practicing in certain fields, at least not in Sweden, as long as you can get that complementary education, which they suggest can come from Adult Education (Swedish equivalent of school to get a GED) or a Swedish university.
