Buxton University (UK)

I could not find Buxton University own page on the Web. They seem to be located in St. John St. in London.

They have a nice certificate (very professional) but I have still some doubts.

Any serious info on it , no gossips but facts please ?

Regards

 

Posted on Degreeinfo were some links to some articles where the journalist said that they bought Buxton degrees for no work. (IIRC, purchased for his pet cat)

There have also been a number of aliases that have posted on degreeInfo that they worked hard for their BU degree. None of these aliases could provide a name of a human that worked or taught at Buxton. They were also unable to provide any information as to from where Buxton received legal authority to grant degrees because we know that it is not from the UK.

 

The lack of facts should tell you all you want to know.

 

Buxton University does not have the authority to grant degrees and I do not think they are permitted to refer to themselves as universities (only those with Royal Charters or an Act of Parliament may).

 

Thank you. I think you are right, but I will love to visit those links.

 

Buxton University Pty Ltd is registered as an IBC in the Seychelles. It is not permitted to trade with residents of the Seychelles, who would never had heard of it anyway.

Cheers,

Actually, some are within other parts of the United Kingdom, but the regulations quoted only apply to England. There would be little difference between the other lists.

 

Sorry for the abrupt reply but if you can't search the archives then scroll through the threads. This has been beaten to death. Please do not resurrect.
Thanks,

Oh, God . . . . . not Buxton again! (runs screaming from the room).

Great point! Never has more been said about a school that doesn't even exist! (Says one of the participants )

 

Perhaps never has so little been said so verbosely by a degree mill apologist. (Yes, I'm even including Henrik in my considerations. )

 

Yeah, but the Buxton poster (yeah, I believe there was only one) at least gave information. Wrong, misleading, and utterly baseless information, sure. Henrik does the opposite. You ask him what time it is and he spends hours telling you how to build a watch--but you don't find out the time! Ask him a question about Knightsbridge and you don't get a straight answer. Plus, he has a grinding habit of proving his points by saying you have to disprove them! And when you do, he conveniently ignores them.

A few months ago I set out to find the first 10 faculty he had listed on his website. I posted the results on this board. Needless to say, most were unlocatable. But the other day I read (on another board) where he was directing some poster to that list of faculty to demonstrate that Knightsbridge was actually real!

Henrik is the king of tautologies. If you want to know about Knightsbridge, you can only find out about it from him (and his). He proves the existence of Knightsbridge by saying it exists. Now he's got someone asking him to clarify and be specific, but he doesn't. And so it goes....

But let's review:

Doesn't have legal authorization to operate.
Has moved legal authorization from other jurisdictions.
Acts like a British school and banks in London.
No published curricula.
No published courses.
Non-existent faculty members.
No "footprint" beyond his website and the people claiming KU degrees.
Selling a Ph.D. to Neil Hayes for work done elsewhere.
-- Not following his own published process for doing it.
-- Degree supervised by someone from another academic specialty.
-- Awarded a Ph.D. to someone with no other college degrees.
Offered to sell an "honorary" (for cause) Ph.D. for 10K pounds.

The only differences between Buxton and Knightsbridge are the bombasts by the operator and one person (Hayes) on record as having a KU Ph.D. (plus one other, anonymous person), and a better website. But both operations result in the same thing: a degree not recognized academically anywhere in the world. Not even in Wyoming.
