They always say "certificate" which can mean anything. So is this stuff a "real degree" (maybe titulo propio) or do you just get a "certificate" of your education and this education is certified by UI1.
If you stick strictly to the letter of the certificate it might be illegal to use the "title" of Master or MBA in most EU-States.
The ENEB Homepage talks about "degrees", but can, as I understand, not issue degrees by itself.
It's embarrassing to see some forum members include UI1 in their signatures (especially the ones who don't even mention Eneb), falsely presenting themselves as UI1 graduates. Despite UI1's clear stance that participants are not UI1 graduates, certain members use misleading arguments to claim otherwise. For instance, some point to IEE or ECE validations or Ui1's online verifications to justify their claims, while others, like one individual calling himself a "Dr.," argues that his degree on LinkedIn has never been questioned![]()
. Another member even claimed that the relationship between ENEB and UI1 is like that of an edX. Their logic is flawed, having a degree recognized as equivalent by another institution, doesn’t make one a UI1 graduate.
It's like claiming a Stanford degree because Stanford University issued a certificate declaring that a Saylor Academy degree is equivalent to a RA Master's.
With the new collaboration offering up to 15 ECTS credits transferable to official programs and the introduction of a "título propio," some members may feel emboldened to misrepresent themselves as UI1 graduates. However, the validity of these credits is questionable, has anyone confirmed whether Universidad Isabel I actually accept them? Most European countries don’t recognize títulos propios for transfer, even from state universities, with rare exceptions among private institutions.
To be clear, I’m an ENEB graduate myself and understand the temptation to leverage UI1’s name on a resume for practical reasons. But doing so in this forum, where the distinction is well known (or apparently it's not), feels disingenuous. You're allowed to use MBA next to your name if you have a titulo propio in EU, but I'm not sure if that also applies to institutions like Eneb.
UI1 isn't a famous or well-known school. What's the point/benefit of pretending to be a UI1 graduate?Are you being too sensitive?
The question isn't whether I'm "too sensitive", but why you'd even ask that in a discussion about academic integrity. My post may have been a bit complex for you, so let me clarify. After all, we’re all here to learn and contribute.
The issue isn't UI1's fame. it's that UI1 is what actually appears on ENEB graduates' certificates, that's the irony you missed. It's about accuracy in representation. Why would someone put UI1 on a resume instead of ENEB? Search for ENEB online and results are rather mixed to negative. Universidad Isabel I, on the other hand, shows up as a recognized university. I hope things are more clear to you now. Take care
Calling it “résumé fraud” to list the actual awarding university that’s on the diploma is a stretch. By that logic, I should also include the courier service that delivered my degree and the brand of ink used on the certificate. ENEB provided coursework, sure, but UI1 is the accredited institution that granted the degree, exactly what’s written on the diploma, and exactly what credential evaluators like ECE recognize. That’s not misleading; that’s just how résumés are supposed to work: you highlight your strongest, accurate credentials, not every subcontractor along the way.
It is more of a personal choice to use MBA next to a person's name. In some instances, it is advisable to leave the MBA in the education section of the resume, because certain roles do not require an MBA, and listing it next to one's name might work against the person. For example, a sales role in finance generally doesn't require an MBA, while some employers prefer to have it, depending on the target customer segment, especially if the products and services offered are being presented to and negotiated with a C-suite of executives. For those types of roles, an MBA may be mentioned as a desired qualification on the job description, but is not an absolute requirement.
Titulo Propio attained through ENEB, via certification by Ui1, doesn't necessarily make it less of a Titulo Propio. A technicality is that it's certified by Ui1 where the courses were taught at ENEB, thus the transcripts are from ENEB, not Ui1. It is slightly different than taking the programs directly at Ui1, which would be a little better for transcript evaluation purposes, but not that different.
