ENEB Master Thread

[suleyman92]

Hi guys,

I've been following this forum (and others) since several months. As I just recently enrolled in an MBA through ENEB because of the cheap price.

The reason I followed the whole equivalency discussion is because of the following: 

I'm from Belgium and I don't have a Bachelor Degree. UI1 has several partners and one of them Structuralia, offers a master degree in Cybersecurity (60 ECTS titulo propio) I've successfully enrolled and finished it. I had to present my case that I already had several years of IT experience, did study a Bachelor but never finished, and some low ball certs. They admitted me to the program and I've completed it. This master did have a final project (thesis like).

I admitted my documents to NARIC Belgium (I did not have the ui1 degree yet at the moment) After several months this was the status updates:

- Application registered
- Application closed
During the processing of your file, it was determined that your program, educational institution or country was not recognized by the appropriate authorities on the date your diploma was awarded. Your file has therefore been closed. You will soon receive a letter or e-mail with more information.
- Exemption received
- Checking institution and training completed
NARIC-Flanders verified that your training and educational institution are recognized in the country of origin. No problems were found.
- Authenticity check
NARIC-Flanders examines the authenticity of your degree.
(Here they told me that Structuralia side everything was okay and they were awaiting feedback from ui1)

After waiting months for, i decided to contact ui1 myself and asked whether they could just verify if I finished my studies though Structuralia, they replied me "Good afternoon, Mr :

Thank you for contacting us.

First of all, we would like to inform you that the formation given is not part of the academic offer of official degrees and / or degrees of the University Isabel I.

The official degrees (both Bachelor and Master) offered at the University Isabel I, can be found in the RUCT (Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees) and, among them, does not appear the "Master's Degree in Cybersecurity".

Secondly, the University Isabel I signs agreements with external centers, which is what is called "permanent or certified formation" and consists of the following: the external center, in this case, Structuralia, provides studies based on a specific content program developed by them and the University, only, certifies this formation and issues the diploma that is in your possession.

For this reason, we recommend that you contact Structuralia directly so that they can help you with your request too.

In any case, and taking into account the above, we can indicate that S.U., studied and passed these studies with the Structuralia center, being certified by the University Isabel I in the framework of the existing agreement of certification of formation between both entities.

Finally, we would like to inform you that we have not received any verification request from Naric Belgium. In case , they need another verification, they can contact us through certificaciones@ui1.es

For another question, don't hesitate to contact us back.

Best regards,
Marta Gutiérrez"


I forwarded this mail to NARIC to speed things up, and what happened after? -> NARIC closed my application, even when I've sent my UI1 cert. I sent an e-mail asking what the reason was and they just told me that I will receive more info soon as soon as the supervisor signs the document.

I was very excited to get it recognized as I've read somewhere else another Belgian person had their master in big data from ENEB recognized as a master's. But unfortunately this person just read the part of not being part of official academic offer and closed the application....
