London School of Design and Marketing - online BA/MA in Design and in Marketing

Found this recently, they offering a BA in Design, and a BA in Marketing. Both are priced at around $11k USD for the whole program.

They also offer a MA in Design, and an MA in Marketing, both priced about $6k USD.

Degrees are accredited by University for the Creative Arts

It's pretty cheap for a Masters degree. I think cheapest I've seen so far.

When they say "accredited by" I think they mean, in our-speak, "validated by". They are clear about what happens - you receive your degree not from London School of Design and Marketing but from University for the Creative Arts. I'm pretty sure I read the words "validated by" on one of the two sites. This is an accepted and legit path for UK schools - partnerships involving a degree-granting school and a non-degree granting one. This school is unusual in that it seems to have a large number of University partners and offers degrees taught in several languages. This particular program is taught in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Somewhere deep in the blurb was some wording about their having 1000 universities on tap throughout much of the world, for these partnership deals. What a daunting admin. task that must be!

I have no idea if this is the same school or not , but a few years ago, a school called - at that time - London School of Marketing lost its ability to enrol foreign students re: some immigration violations. I'm not sure if it was temporary or permanent suspension. There were about six separate London Schools of this-or-that involved - and many other schools as well. As I said, I'm not sure if this school was involved or not. Just to confuse the issue further, a Wiki on "London School of Marketing" brings up this school. Confusing, to say the least.

I'd want to know a few things for sure before I plunked down money.

 

went to dig further about the programs from UCA itself. found on the UCA website

https://www.uca.ac.uk/about-us/partnerships/

but yeah, it gets confusing when you google 'London School of Marketing" and the London School of Design and Marketing shows up. The next entry in the google search shows a Wiki for LSM Education, I believe that would be the school with immigration violations. I've not dug into that school.

 

Right. That must have been where I saw the word "validates." This indeed looks like a great deal. Good degree - good school (UCA) - good price.

All straightened out, then. Good job! Thanks!
