European Professional Doctorate

[Unlucky]

FVES is a bit different thing though. Their reputation is non-existant and they can afford the shady side-business offering diplomas certified by a known accreditation mill and nobody to fire as it's most likely the activity of the owner of that local faculty.

I recently experienced a highly unprofessional interaction with FVES due to discrepancies in pricing and misinformation regarding their programs. They seem to determine charges based on perceived geographic location and assumed income. They justified this by stating they “have different price policies for different regions, this is normal everywhere in the World due to e.g., infrastructure” (their exact words).

More importantly, I noted the inconsistencies between their email content and website information, specifically concerning doctoral thesis requirements, and sought clarification. Regrettably, my inquiries were met with insults and threats of email spamming should I persist. (They literally called me “crazy” and threatened to “spam” my email account if I sent one more message.)

Subsequently, I reached out to the rector of the main Polish school on two occasions to address this ethical concern, but regrettably, my complaints were outright ignored. This appears to align with Tomas’s observation that the main Polish school does not maintain authority over its branches like FVES, essentially acting as a “franchise,” permitting other entities to operate under its name without intervening in operational matters.

I’m sharing this to ensure potential students are apprised of the possible treatment they might encounter.
