ENEB Master Thread

[nykorn]

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.

Use for what exactly? I don't think that you can use the ECTS academically.

They're just talking about using the degree to look better on their CV, not about transferring the credits, right?

When I googled about credit transfer and degree equivalency I found one of the main problems is the following. Aside from curriculum differences, one ECTS credit can be worth an unequal amount of study hours depending on country. This is not an exhaustive list, you can find the real one here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_C...ion_System

25 study or classroom hours - Austria, Spain, Italy
27 - Finland, Sweden
28 - Denmark, The Netherlands, Portugal
30 - Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Romania, Russia

This would help explain why Swedish pages are saying Spanish titulo propio degrees are equal to a Swedish Magister Degree (1 year Master's) and do not need an equivalency check, but Germany is refusing/gatekeeping them. The potential gap in credit hours is too big. 

Now I see why the ENEB degrees are the odd number of 72 credits!! A Spanish degree at 60 ECTS could automatically get evaluated by Germany as worth 50 ECTS; but at 72 ECTS it could potentially be worth 60 ECTS in Germany.

I found a Swedish page saying if you want to check your degree equivalency in Europe you should use ENIC-NARICs (which, the homepage claims, does not function as a FCE in the US): https://www.enic-naric.net/

As I wrote in this thread before, you can often just get a supplement to your degree. Their example was a lady who got her degree in Germany moved to France, but French authorities took two whole years off of her German degree, which she then needed to supplement with two further years of study at a French university. Another example is in Sweden, high school graduation was not seen as equivalent until the student took supplementary Swedish courses. Hopefully you can do something in Germany to make the ENEB degree worthwhile.
