ENEB Master Thread

[xentium]

Hi everyone,

I'm a long-time lurker and just decided to create an account. I recently completed my ENEB MBA + Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence, and I have received my digital diplomas for the program.

I have a question regarding academic background checks. Since the diplomas will also be issued by Isabel I, what should be listed for potential employers' background checks for the degrees? Should it be ENEB or Universidad Isabel I?

I assume that once I receive the digital degree from Isabel I, it will confirm that the degree has been conferred by them?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think this has always been a gray area. I do not know well enough of the background checker’s process to give a definitive answer, however, my take is it may be okay to put Isabel I instead of ENEB. Isabel I diplomas can be validated using their website with the QR code on the back of the diploma. That may be good enough for the background checkers.

If however they require transcripts, I believe the procedure should be to ask a copy from you. In this case, you can provide them the ENEB transcript validated by Validential, which should show Isabel I as the awarding institution - as long as you provided the Isabel I diploma when you had it validated.

Now of course all of this is moot if you just put ENEB as the conferrer. I personally want it to be Isabel I due recognition, as it is an actual educational institution.

I’m hoping somebody here has gone through this process and can give us better info. However, I won’t be putting mine on my resume just to be safe. A negative finding may compromise a job that took you a lot of time and effort to get, for a degree that may not have mattered in the hiring decision anyway.

Hmm, seems like they don’t care how long you’ve spent into completing the degree..you just can’t get more than 90ETCS in a year

True, however this can be tricky. I believe they do not count ECTS per program per se, rather per course taken. Meaning if you previously already had a 60-ECTS single master and took the MBA+master version of that, it won’t require 120 ECTS total - rather 60 + the difference of the new courses from the MBA.

Not sure how they apportion the ECTS per course though since programs may vary on the number of courses they have.
