    Hi

    My background in brief: In a traditional German brick and mortar university in bachelor IT studies, I have passed 26 courses with success = in sum 147 ECTS credit.
    I think, one must call me a drop-off. For 2 years, I have been working in full-time and will remain in this position. The job is great and I won't interrupt for the degree. However, my degree (at least the Bachelor study that I have begin and almost finished) is still missing.

    After meeting some guys from abroad, I heard of European (in detail: UK and NL) private universities which accept credit transfer almost to 75-85% from other accredited EU universities and provide plans for completing the rest by online tests or homework. I'd really like to check this path but seeking for such an offer was not successful yet. Most accredited universities, have 30-50% credit transfer at max. I really wonder about this restriction; I am not going to transfer lifeexperience or similar, but ask for claiming credit for traditional academic coursework.

    Can you recommend a cooperating (accredited and also friendly transfer-policy) education institute or let me know how to find the right one, please?

    PS: Most web sources lead to US universities/colleges, which are known very well and low-reputated with human ressource managers at most traditional companies; even or especially for IT jobs where the option is very popular but not accepted. That's why I really prefer an accredited option within Europe, and primarily UK or NL which have accredation and well reputation.

    Thanks a lot.

    Is there another recommendation for moving straightforward on this?
