What if you passed 165 out of 180 credits in MSc would you get MSc or PgDip?
Asked by Wiki User
OK then what did you do next because I am passing through the same as you so please if you get this message reply me.
I appealed but the appeal was considered as an academic complaint. Finally, I wrote a letter to the chair of assessment board to have another chance, and I got it.
Good luck for you.
What is the concept of social development?
Asked by Wiki User
Numerous models have been formulated to describe development. Generally, these start off with a state of not-yet development or nondevelopment, and then go on to contrast this with a second state: some kind of plan or blueprint for development. As a result, the process of development is equated with a series of completed stages. Like having to climb the rungs of a ladder, one moves up and up in order to become more and more developed.

Is Bethany Divinity College and Seminary affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary located in Indiana?
Asked by Wiki User
Answer No, Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not, nor ever has been affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary that is located in Indiana. Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not a part of a denominational body, but rather is an independent, conservative, Bible based school, Baptist in identification, but trans-denominational in its student body. The school and its professors accept the Bible as the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God Bethany is a free-standing school, offering educational course subjects in Bible, Theology, Christian Education, and Bible related subjects; providing solid theological preparation for Christian ministry around the world. Here people can earn a Bachelor, Master or a Doctor degree through off campus studies.
TRUE. But a crorrection.. IT IS NEITHER AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE NOR SEMINARY. The accrediting agency they list is bogus. If it is not accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, then it is not accredited as a seminary. It is a diploma mill and not an accredited institution. Why else have they changed their name three times, and list the lowest price on the internet for an education. If it sounds too good to be true, watch out.

How many private universities are there in the UK?
Asked by Wiki User
Whew, 100s.
Answer: There is only one accredited (ie chartered to award degrees) private university in the UK - Buckingham University; not to be confused with Buckingham New University which is "public".
Additionally, there are some private American universities (eg Richmond) which have dual UK/ US accreditation, plus a few accredited private professional schools such as the BPP Law & Business Schools, & Kaplan Law School. It is possible that in the near future the BPP "franchise" will be extended to allow it to establish & run a number of private universities in the UK.
There are a number of extremely dubious private "medical schools" operating out of the UK: they're a joke, & their "qualifications" are not recognised by the UK General Medical Council: caveat emptor!

Is my American education worthless in the UK?
Asked by Wiki User
No!
An American High School Diploma (providing it covers key subjects - eg English, math, some science, social studies & arts/ humanities) will be accepted as equivalent to a good set of General Certificate of Education (GCSE) passes, & Advanced Placement Tests/ Regents' Exams will be deemed comparable to good General Certificate of Education A Level passes, especially if the scores are in the 4-5 range. Most British universities will also take account of the SAT scores of American applicants.
A good High School Diploma, + 3-4 AP passes in appropriate subjects at 4+/ reasonably competitive SAT scores, will probably secure admission to most universities to study for an undergraduate degree.
Some universities will admit appropriate Associate degree holders to the second year of bachelor degree courses: much depends on the university, & the course applied for.
Generally, a good GPA (3.0+) in a BA/ BS will be enough for admission to masters' degree courses. American masters' degrees are usually accepted as good preparation for doctoral research programmes.
If your degree is from an accredited university/ college it will generally be accepted as equivalent to UK degrees, especially if from an Ivy League or major state or city university - high "brand recognition"!
American medical degrees (MD & DO) are "registerable" qualifications with the British General Medical Council (GMC Registration is required to practise medicine in the UK); US Licenced Professional Engineers are generally granted equivalency status by the UK General Engineering Council/ Institutes of Engineering.
Graduates of accredited US universities/ colleges do not generally have major problems with applying for the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), the standard course for degree holders who wish to teach in UK schools. I have taught with a number of colleagues whose bachelor degrees were from American colleges/ unis: none had a problem gaining admission to a PGCE course, although it should be noted that all had high GPAs - above 3.0.
American colleges & universities generally have a high reputation in the UK, and don't forget, thousands of Britons choose to study in the US - British institutions (schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, banks, law & accountancy firms, public bodies & private companies, local & national government, armed forces, police etc) contain many people who "went to school" in the States. For example, 3 of the 5 candidates in the current Labour Party leadership contest hold graduate degrees from Harvard or MIT. The finance firms in the City of London are chock a bloc with graduates of American business schools (both Britons & Americans), & big law firms in London are full of dual qualified lawyers who hop backwards & forwards across the Atlantic on a weekly basis! There probably isn't a major university in Britain that does not have at least a dozen American PhD holders on the teaching/ research faculty.
