Assessment of Equivalence of Qualification

[Fiona04]

Hi,

Can I ask if your course was 3 or 4 years at University? Did they specify all UK universities would not be granted or all 3 year Uk university courses would not be granted? I studied in Scotland therefore my course was 4 years which is the same as Australian courses. I was wondering if that would make any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Fiona

Hi Fiona. The reply I got was that 'no UK degree would be granted equivalence of qualification'. My degree was a 2 year MSc (post-grad entry), with the syllabus based on an Australian course (Flinders uni i think). I guess the best thing to do is just email them and ask directly, as perhaps the 4 year course is ok...hope so for you!!

Hi. No - they didn't give any reason or explanation....just getting a reply was quite hard enough!! But email them again and ask - they might have changed their tune! I agree that the exam process is a nightmare in terms of time/logistics and cost, and esp if doing it from the UK, but not sure what other options there are (NZ?? - not sure if many people have gone via this route recently?)... Gd luck! Emma
