ENEB Master Thread

[LegalEagle]

@BadSquirrelBeta: They informed me of their decision not to offer the option of combining the current MBA and Big Data Master I have in my account into a Global Master's by purchasing the Master's in Project Management in quite strict wording ('this is a final decision' - guess they had to deal with people entering into discussions with them in the past, as I only wrote them 1 e-mail). I responded by requesting a refund, and they indicated I could do so through Hotmart within 15 days, which I did. I still need to check if I’ve received the refund.

I don’t think the extra “Master’s,” or even the ENEB MBA, adds much to my résumé, given that I already hold multiple degrees from traditional universities. In fact, I recently removed ENEB from my LinkedIn profile because I felt it might actually diminish the perceived value of my other degrees.

That said, I don’t think the ENEB material is bad—it offers a lot of value for the money and provides decent learning opportunities. However, their questionable marketing tactics (e.g., fake pricing, Groupon deals, "only 8 places left" claims), combined with the fact that they offer marketing master’s programs yet fail to attract many active followers on their own social media accounts, make ENEB appear somewhat dubious to outsiders.

Also, thanks for the insights regarding the differences in grading now compared to earlier. It seems like they’re relying more on AI-based grading now, speeding up the process (and maybe also making it more strict). I’ve heard that, in the past, it was easier to receive unrealistically high grades (e.g., many 10-out-of-10s being issued, which would be virtually impossible at a regular university in the Netherlands—especially not for written exams. For a multiple-choice test, it’s theoretically possible to score 100%, but highly unlikely on a challenging exam).
