ENEB Master Thread

[KSoul]

Wow~this is a hectic post. Just out of curiosity, what if in the future, when you decided to advance your education level (to a PhD), could someone from ENEB help issue a recommendation letter for you? Anyone has a clue?

The ENEB's propio Master, based on my understanding, is designed for career and professional improvement and not for academic and Ph.D. I really doubt if there's any chance they provide references for PhD application etc. 

Hince I'm also doing ENEB right now for fun, but we probably shouldn't expect too much more than what we paid for.

No need to doubt with there already confirmation in the thread confirming otherwise. 

ENEB has met the application requirement for doctorate programs at Virginia University of Lynchburg (NA) and Liberty University (RA). Those are just due to recent ENEB graduates applying, and I am comfortable in that there are bound to be more options to be discovered.

Well, my point is that the program's not designed for process to further academic study. So I doubt if the ENEB will issue references to support PhD applications. (And no one yet confirmed if they give recommendations)

Besides that, there's no actual conduct between students and their "academic staff" I really don't see any value even if they issued one.

Usually, doctoral references don't have to all come from past or current faculty members. In my experience, they want at least one recommendation from someone you had an academic experience with, because they can speak to how academically ready you are to tackle doctoral studies. The other recommendations can come from a work supervisor, colleague, etc. It depends on the program you're applying to.

As far as institutional references go, if you complete your ENEB degree with a high enough GPA, your degree will be officially conferred "with distinction". If that is the case, you will receive a formal letter from ENEB on official letterhead informing you of your graduation/degree honor. That can be submitted as a reference from the school in support of your PhD application.

Remember, just because the degree doesn't have a thesis requirement doesn't mean it can't be used to apply to doctorate programs, even PhDs. If your grades and recommendations are good enough, and all you're lacking is a course on research methodology, you can still be admitted. Missing a couple of prerequisite courses is called a "deficiency", but if the candidate's application is strong enough, otherwise, most programs will admit the candidate and allow them to remove the deficiencies within the first two semesters of starting the PhD program.

Here's the verbiage on the document provided by ENEB:

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE CUM LAUDE CERTIFICATE

The academic board of the Escuela de Negocios Europea de Barcelona, centre
registered in the Training Centres' State Registration with the no XXXX, and the
academic staff have unanimously agree to award the CUM LAUDE qualification to
