I re-visited the IIU website(www.iiuedu.ie), they claimed to be the member of The British Association For Open Learning (www.baol.co.uk).It look like IIU is not a degree mill, any comment.
Three fake accreditations, no faculty, degrees in multiple areas without visible means of academic support, blah, blah, blah. This is not a recognized university. This probably isn't even a university at all. What, pray tell, indicates it is anything BUT a degree mill? (Not that I'm calling them one, of course.)
Hello cslee, IIU has numerous pictures of graduates holding diplomas. Their prospectus (undergraduate and graduate) doesn't provide any of the policies, academic requirements, objectives, and guidelines that a traditional UK university would disclose. Looks like a fly-by-night operation to me. A GAAP/RA university would not display pictures of a sample degree on its website - a sure sign you are dealing with a diploma mill.
The IIU Website is full of illiteracies. It could not have been written by a native speaker of English (or even Irish). BAOL's "accreditation" has nothing to do with academic accrediation (see http://www.baol.co.uk/qmaccred.htm), and IIU is not even on their list (http://www.baol.co.uk/qmaccredit.htm)
Here's the Irish Higher Education Authority's listing of legitimate colleges and universities in Ireland. http://www.hea.ie/institute/index.htm If a particular institution doesn't appear on these lists, I'd be *very* skeptical. I failed to see any listing for 'Irish International University'. So personally, I'd avoid this school.
