In my country; snome universities give some certificates worthless the paper they print on. Every year a new university pops up and filled with all neighboring countries. So that it is common to join a university and after graduation, no company will accept it.
In my case as an HND holder ( honored by Edexcel UK ), I'm looking to continue my education. This year, an institue offered The Bachelor of Engineering Program ( BEng ) for a period of 12 months. The fees = $ 9 408 or 4 700 Pounds. it is accredited by the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, UK.
My questions are:
- Is this qualification makes me Engineer ?
- Is the University of Teesside is one of top universities ( as they claimed )
- In short is this offer worth it ? or there is a better ones ?
I went to Keel university for a Jujitsu grading this winter gone by and I did like the feel of the place, it's got loads of bars and is one of the larges campuses in the UK; it feels like a small town or large village, more than a campus.

It was my first grading, red belt and it went ok.
I'm not really doing Jujitsu for the belts, it's just good to know a bit of self defence and it gets me away from the computer.
I would think she'd be better choosing a university that she liked, rather than because it's supposed to be good. The trouble is, if you just go on the open day, you'll hear all the good stuff and not about the downside.
I think it'd be a good idea for her to visit on a non-open day, talk to some of the students and find out what they really think. This shouldn't be too hard to do, I managed to sneak into the student bar for a drink, it's probably better to do this in the day rather than night. I supose if they ask her for her student pass, she could just be honest and say she's interested in going but wants to talk to some students about it before she makes a decision.
As for Teeside, I would imaginge it's very similar in 'feel' to Newcastle, so it's probably a fun place to be, and the people will be very friendly - apparently 50% of the graduates from Newcastle try and stay in the area when they leave, a friends son finished his degree a year ago, and he's now working in a call centre in Newcastle. Bit of a waste of a degree, but he wanted to stay there, and he's very happy - what more can you ask?.
You say "an institute" and "acredited by the University of Teeside". That sounds to me as if this is not the University of Teeside. You should check very carefully exactly what institute it is, and exactly what "accredited by" means in this case.
Thanks Nigel, as usual i've got many information in your reply. but it seems i missleaded you. The study and exams will take place in my country. The papers will sent to the University, and terfore they graded them.
a very good luck to your daughter in here study.
it is accredited by the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, UK.
He already has an HND which is equavlent to the first two years of a degree.
You should check with the IEEE. If the school is not accredited by IEEE, you will not be able to call yourself a P. Eng.
It doesn't matter who else accredits it or gives testimonials. There is another institution in the US by the name of Cooks school of engineering, and they exhault to the fact that they are accredited by some obscure accreditation body for "alternative education". It doesn't matter who's Aunt Matilda accredits them. If the IEE doesn't, nobody else counts. These phoney schools take large amounts of your money and waste your time.
Thanks for the hint, but how to check that?!
I'll check all our engineers universities
thanks
Oh ok, I am not familiar with what an HND is.
Nah me neither, this is the first I've heard of it.
