    Not Irish International University
    Not Irish Business School, but a revamped version with the word 'university' added.

    Cheers,

    Is London really in Ireland???

    (I knew it! See, our American geography education isn't so bad after all.)

    And why does everyone in these weird offshore registered sorta-British "universities" love playing dress-up in costumes and funny hats?

    And why is almost everyone in the picture Asian?

    And why is there a St Clements University (I think--it's a bit difficult to tell) banner in the background?

    Because this is just another version of a Jeff Wooller production, that's why.

    These aren't real schools, accredited or otherwise. They're fake diploma mills.

    Here they are posing with a parade of dignitaries/autocrats wearing bizarre costumes.

    What IS it about the grey damp air of the British isles that makes grown up men want to dress up like clowns?

    But try as they might, they just don't get it.

    Where are their curtain rods??

    Irish International University

    Irish International University seems to be
    'doing a Knightsbridge'. They apparently are claiming that private universities in Ireland need no additional authority to grant degrees beyond their business incorporation and that as long as they don't take any money from the Irish government, the Irish government has no authority to regulate them:

    The university is owned by an Irish incorporated institution with professional European degree awarding authority. The institution does not come under the jurisdiction or control of any government department. Private educational establishments in the Irish Republic do not receive any state funding, nor have state recognition certificate for their institution.

    All the professional European degrees are conferred by the Board of Trustees by virtue of incorporation in the Irish Republic in accordance with all legal authority. The professional European degrees are conferred at university convocations in the United Kingdom and internationally. The private university title is registered in the Irish Republic in the year 2000.

    IIU's 'quality assurance' page tells us that the thing is overseen by the 'Quality Assurance Commission - UK' (QAC), obviously an attempt to play off Britain's QAA:

    They claim to be accredited by the Education Quality Accrediting Commission (EQAC).

    IIU apparently franchises. Scroll down on this page for a map showing the locations of their many "campuses" in Africa and Asia.

    If you are referring to the Mayors, it isn't their fault that (ex-)colonials have no fashion sense.

    At least they have a good reason - centuries of tradition. Irish International University has no such excuse.

    They all come from him being an accountant - I only ever list the specific minimal post nominals that relate directly to whatever ...

    Irish International University sure has a lot of olde-English (or Irish, or something) tradition, considering that they were only incorporated in 2000.

    All the professional European degrees are conferred by the Board of Trustees by virtue of incorporation in the Irish Republic in accordance with all legal authority. The professional European degrees are conferred at university convocations in the United Kingdom and internationally. The private university title is registered in the Irish Republic in the year 2000.

    I think that essentially explains the loophole that Irish International university is using.

    They incorporate in Ireland, but since they don't award their degrees in that country, Irish education law doesn't apply to them. (So they hope.) They award degrees (with tremendous pomp) in London, but since they aren't incorporated in the UK, British education law doesn't apply to them. (So they hope.) They get both the British and the Irish saying 'It's not our responsibility', and IIU is effectively nowhere at all, while operating "campuses" all over the world.

    Despite being incorporated in 2000, by 2004 they were already holding their 5'th European Convocation. (That's a good trick. They must have a dynamite physics department. Or maybe legal department...)

    The colors of their costumes go together very well.

    This looks like a party school of a rather peculiar sort, one that attracts upwardly mobile Asians who enjoy playing fantasy dress-up in England. The 'traditional convocations' might be as attractive to their students as the degrees. Oxbridge!!!

    Registered In Philipines

    Though this thread seem to be expired but it all appears That Irish Univeristy Business School was just passing through growth stages like oxford and big universities passed centuries ago with their challenges of that time. Irish University Business School is registered in philipines http://www.chedro7.ph/ and thier Dean, Dr. NUNEZ is a world class engineer trained in US and a PE. you know what that means. they are simply growing and the name of schools are more of nomenclature as reigstration is important. most schools in US go by British city names that will make you think they are from England. IUBS was first registered in Ireland 1995.

    Their faculty member are growing and better than some bigger schools that we pay huge amount to attend as well. Our attention here is quality education and the knowledge of the faculty members. Dr. Nunez is the representative of ASME due to his knowledge and training from US.

    So you resurrected a thread that's been dead for four years to tell us that a school that was bogus in, umm, everywhere, is now wonderful in the Phillipines?

    This is certainly not true. So what else is not to be believed in this message?

    I found Nunez's profile on LinkedIn, where he lists his education as "Harvard University School of Public Health". His profile reveals that he took a continuing professional education course they offered. He also wrote that he had taken extension courses at UC Berkeley.

    Mysteriously absent were the schools that awarded the DSc, PhD, MS, MBA, and MPH degrees that he claims. He also claims to be a PE, but doesn't identify his state of licensure. His profile makes reference to the states of Washington, California, and Kentucky, but he does not appear in any one of those state's databases of licensed engineers.

    Nunez is also a dean at the unaccredited Rutherford University.
