Master/Bachelor/Bachelor Top Up EU Framework Gaps - How to solve it?

Can the MBA count towards undergraduate courses?

 

Why???????

 

Try to work with big 3.
You can try to get your qualifications assessed by TESU for credit, also NACES member service can provide the US credit recommendation.
I know people who used their UK qualifications to enter US accredited University max transfer 75% then took classes to complete the remaining 25% in order to earn a 4 year Bachelors degree.
But since you intend to use it in Germany and some other EU states, you should check with them.
One option to consider if apply to French University that is government recognized - Public university that allows VAE.
You may get credit for all your previous study toward a Bachelors degree or full bachelors degree.

 

Thanks for your contribute. The main issue is that EU Institutions do not recognize US Degree as much as US institutions recognize EU Degrees..
The best option would be to get a full degree (Bachelor) in Europe so I should not have any issues with Germany

 

Because he says he needs a bachelor's degree.

 

Okay, thanks.

This is an interesting if futile thread.

 

I don't know if this will help but here it is:

Wait, I thought our specialty was hijacking threads and then throwing shade.h::yeah:

 

Hello Steven.
Degreeinfo is great, but it's an US centric website. I think it is not the best place to find an answer to your specific question. You should ask it again at an European forum. Try www.fernstudium-infos.de, for instance. That's degreeinfo's German speaking couterpart, so to call.

 

I thought Fern Studies an American thing but I guess not.

 

Good tip. Thanks.

 

Well, Fernstudium actualy means distance studies, of course. Fern studies would be "Farnstudium" in German. :lol:

Fernstudium may also mean distance degree or online degree. 'Grad', German for degree, is only used for the title itself, not for 'degree course', and online-anything sounds so oldfashioned in German, it must be something from the 1990's.

 

Looks like distance study has caught on in Germany. Gut.

 

Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications

The Statement of Comparability is an official document issued by the "Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen" (Central Office for Foreign Education – ZAB) that describes a foreign higher education qualification, its professional and academic usage. The ZAB Statement of Comparability can facilitate access to the German labour market for holders of foreign higher education qualifications. It is a comparative assessment but not a recognition certificate. (Just like NARIC in UK)

You could take your MBA and law degree to Excelsior College or Thomas Edison State University and try to earn a BS degree. The regular rule states that you would need to take another 30 credits in order to earn a BS degree but this would not be a top up degree but a regular 120 credits BS degree.
You should start by sending your transcripts to a foreign evaluator recognized by Excelsior or Thomas Edison such as ECE.
You seem to have the equivalent of 90 or more credits so you only need extra 30 credits. You could try the most flexible degree that is the BS in Liberal Arts but you can earn a concentration in business or legal studies.

 

The MBA credits would transfer as upper level credits and he can fill his electives with a foreign language test for German. He could get about 18 credits for his German so he would need to do another 12 credits.
He most likely would need to do basic classes in science such as Math, Ethics, etc to complete but it is not that hard to complete in less than a year.

I completed a second BS at Excelsior with few classes as I transferred previous BS degree credits and MS credits and just needed to complete few classes to get the BS in IT. I had more than 50 credits in IT certifications but the general rules is only extra 30 credits to get the second degree.

 

Since you have an MBA, you could try to get a BS degree in the UK by transferring these credits into a specialized BS program in Accounting or Finance and complete through examinations. You can look at the ACCA agreement with Oxford brookes
Oxford Brookes BSc | ACCA Global

The problem is that the MBA would only give you few exemptions and you would still need to do a lot of accounting and finance exams to do the degree.
