Rusland College

A relative was considering taking a Criminology program through this U.K. institution. By British standards would this be a "properly accredited" school? They claim accreditation by the "Open and Distance Learning Quality Council"

I like the comment from their BBS under "Possible not job opportunities":

quote from an on-going student: "Do you mean we are doing this course for nothing???????? "

And I thought it would be spelled "Russland" in German.

still with fixed smilies - thank you adminstrators!

 

Hey Adelheid--it's the new spelling! hehehehehohohohohoohoohoohoo

 

Mein grossvater kam aus Russland.

 

Does anyone have an actual opinion of the school itself?

 

The what?

 

PROST

Does anybody think that these "institutions" still make money after 911?

Here's my half-wit attempt at German:

Sprech eins sie deutsch?

 

Re: Here's my half-wit attempt at German:

No. not really. But, correct me if I am wrong, sjhould it not be "sprechen sie deutsch?"

"Behave! - Not if I can't help it."

 

But then, being called "Rusland something", maybe it should be "Nastrovje" instead of "Prost".

adelheid
"Behave! - Not if I can't help it."

 

Or should that rathe be "Behave! - Only if I can't help it" - any advise from you linguistics out there?

Thanks

That was all most certainly helpful!

 

My goodness, has everyone gone squirrely? Something to do with Mercury being in Petrograd, I guess.

I don't pay close attention to non-degree-granting institutions, but these people seem to have valid recognition, for a private non-degree school. One hopes your relative will shop around, and see what else is out there at comparable prices, unless, of course, a British-focused criminology programme is what he or she is especially looking for.
