The latest email mentioned “Only this week” and only under June 30th which makes me feel that ENEB is piloting this new approach and testing water to see how many interested (and additional $$$$$$ generated)

So now my question is…. Let’s say you have a dual degree. And you do the test for ONE of them.. Would you have to do all the papers in the second one or would the duplicate modules still be credited from the tested out degree? Hmm…

I haven't received this email just got the original email.

Now I previously made a post defending ENEB and suggesting that everyone has their own individual levels of acceptability.

For me not being able to spell "Exams" correctly in official marketing comms for a university degree, is enough for me to start to doubt that they have really thought this through.

Having lived in China for a few years, I know it is common in foreign countries for classic English misspellings or poor interpretations like this in marketing material. Ironically, this often comes from uneducated Americans or part-time comedians charged with translations. For example, East China Normal University is one of China's most prestigious teaching universities. This isn't a misspelling; however, I am confident the school's President had a higher interest than 'Normal' when trying to promote the university to the Western World. Locals get a kick out of it.

No, who is going to take those EXAMNS?

FYI, in English, a "Normal School" is an old-fashioned term for a teaching college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school Arizona State University started life as a "Normal School". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of...University It sounds weird to modern ears, but it's not wrong.

Thanks for the share. I had heard some connections there, and also, by the numbers think the university in China came first and could still be inspired by Western influence.

Agree with how it lands as the first time; I got a kick out of it, as the person sharing the story did as well.
