London College of Business and Management http://www.lcbm.co.uk - Anyone have info?

Can anyone provide me info on this particular school or its legitimacy. I have been considering the Phd in Hotel Management as a continued education option and this program can allow for distance learning, according to the admin.

I am not sure of their affiliations and or connections with other schools.

Any other Hotel Management options in a doctoral program that one is aware of?

 

From its web address it is not a British University because that would end in: ac.uk

Unless it has another affiliation with a British University it is not authorised legally to award degrees. That you say it is awarding a 'PhD' is most suspicious. Authority to award post-graduate degrees would suggest a long established record of conducting undergraduate programmes.

I have not heard of anything with this title and suspect it is worthy of the most careful attention and precaution before you believe its marketing and before you part with a single penny.

 

Address on their website:
628-632 High Road, Leytonstone London E11 3DA

Google search finds:
London Supermarkets directory:
Kwik Save Stores Ltd. 628-632 High Road, Leytonstone London E11 3DA

 

Would you like a PhD with that?

(alternatively: would you like your PhD in paper or plastic?).

London College of Business and Management doesn't seem to appear on either list.
