Harrison Middleton University. Working as a Writer. I am mainly curious. If this is not the case, what DL's are recognized overseas, UK?
If it's as a writer, I don't think there are any government regulations which are going to stop you from getting a job. Your potential employer will judge it based on looking up your program and deciding whether they think it's of a good enough quality and relevance for your program.
Sorry, I responded before seeing your edit. Are you talking about a Doctor of Arts degree (the DA you refer to) or a DL degree? Regarding degrees, it's up to the individual employer to recognize them or not. However, I know that at least one occupation, law, is stricter in the UK. In the UK, a person with any bachelor's degree from within the UK can take a one year add-on course with the permission of the Bar Standards Board and it's considered the equivalent to meeting the law degree requirement in their licensing system. If you want to use an American degree as the equivalent, you need to supply them proof that it's a four-year program or equivalent if you completed it in a shorter time, and is regionally-accredited. But, for individual employers, they're just going to look up the reputation of your school and of your program and decide based on that.
Yes they are, but not about writing. What I meant was, being a writer isn't a regulated profession so where you got your degree is a matter for your employer to decide on whether they approve of your degree, and not a matter of it being approved on a UK-wide licensing system like with medicine, psychology, law, etc.
For any undergraduate RA degree being used to become a barrister or solicitor. I imagine other regulated professions are similar. It doesn't apply if you're becoming a writer. Like I said, it's up to each employer.
Interesting, Law-dude. I am going to see what companies are available to US citizens in, let's say, London.
