    Hi all,

    Just want to know your comment about www.purpletrain.com

    purpletrain.inc based in Singapore offering online learning from their parner universities in UK ( university of Wales, portsmouth university), OZ ( Curtin University) , and US ( Salem International University). I have checked these universities and found out that all of them either recognized or regionally accredited university.

    I am interested in their MSc. in Strategic Business Information Technology program in affiliated with Portsmouth University. But I feel that the course structure and assesment system is too simple and easy.

    Please check them out if you have time.

    Thanks.

    I think there has been some discussion and/or queries on this here before. They offer legitimate Universities degrees.

    Portsmouth MSc degree is also valid and recognized. I queried earlier, do a search on this forum for Portsmouth. This course only has assignments as the assessment method (maybe group participation as well? not sure ) . There has been discussion on this kind of assessment. University of Liverpool MSc IT has a similar method. Searching here will reveal all this info.
    There is another similar program from University of Derby that I am looking at and have requested information. you may want to look at that too.
