Are bachelor degrees world recognised?

Question

Are bachelor degrees world recognised?

Answer 1

Great question. I'm wondering this myself.

Is it accepted the same way for colleges (if you wanted to do a Masters) as it is in the workplace?

Answer 2

Depends

Answer 3

It depends on where they're from - you have a better chance of international recognition if it's from a top school (e.g Harvard) than a smaller institution.

Answer 4

check the Bologna accord! they have the equivalent of every bachelor in every university and its value in the different countries!

it s long and boring.

i have a bachelor degree from a uni in Switzerland and its the biggest joke in the world as it turned out that it s not valid everywhere. I have to stamp it in Switzerland for every little thing.

Answer 5

It's down to the validating body and the subject. In America, and other countries there are 'diploma mills' churning out worthless qualifications, which may make some people suspicious of a degree from an institution they do not recognise.

Answer 6

Well I know bachelors degrees, etc are recognised here in the UK, there is also a european framework in place that recognises higher national diplomas as credits towards certain qualifications - ie an HND say, would consist of 3/4 of the credits needed to be recognised as a Bachelors degree.
