    FutureLearn usually partners with Australian and UK institutions, a few of them provide interesting graduate degree options. Most of the programs at the Masters level have 1 year full time and 2 year part time programs at an affordable price. Anglia Ruskin has a few programs at $7300-7700 British Pounds. Brunel has programs at 10K British Pounds, and Coventry has some at 17.5K British Pounds, these are coming from top 500 or higher ranking universities...

    Not a criticism - Anglia Ruskin has a long history of partnerships with other schools. You go to the partner school - you get an Anglia Ruskin degree. Right now, these seem to include three Malaysian schools and one in Trinidad. https://www.aru.ac.uk/about-us/global-partnerships/our-international-partners

    If memory serves, they have, in the past, offered degrees through a Swiss school - Robert Kennedy College. That school still has British partners -- Salford is one. We have quite a few threads on Anglia Ruskin partnerships, including one with Swiss school, Avrio Sarl - formerly “Institut Avrio de Genève."

    I have no problem with that - an Anglia Ruskin degree is good. Whatever works, although I figure it might be cheaper to go direct - to Anglia Ruskin, rather than enrol with a partner who splits the take.

    It's not just them, as this is a normal practice among UK schools. For example, here's the University of London page on this:

    And City University releases a great deal of information about how they do this and with whom:

    But there's always the danger of devolving into an unsustainable "University of Wales" situation , I suppose.

    Sure there is. But it would take some serious work. The U. of Wales implosion required around 200 overseas programs, complete with a Malaysian pop-singer Dean and a Cambodian supermodel Chancellor, all with virtually no oversight. ...Oh, I suppose it could be done with less than 200, but - why bother? :)

    If someone DOES want to do a re-boot, well, there's this (formerly) big Bible School in the Midwest, untroubled by the hassles of accreditation, that once had its degrees validated by Uni of Wales, - I think after its Liverpool Stickers and Canterbury (Church) Endorsement phases. Uni of Wales consortium then imploded and the school went on to failed attempts at RA and NA. That school might be interested in a validation scheme, I dunno... :)
