I can't tell you about student life, but I can give a little insight to employment - which will directly affect study.

Nottingham is damn hard to get into as a job. The teachers there are uber-qualified (and I don't mean they drive people everywhere). I'm talking master's degrees and years of experience teaching in China doesn't even get an interview :( The pay there is very good!

XJTLU... I know a few working there, and again, lots of experienced and qualified teachers - from good quality overseas universities! However, they've also advertised something like 20 jobs on unijobs.com, for a whole range of positions... so looks like there's been a big shake-up.

Yeah, I read that... but since I don't think anyone on here has been a student there, I thought I'd give some ideas from the teaching perspective. Might be better than nothing...

There also is the university of Nottingham in ningbo. Seems less of a joint venture which might be better. I sure it's good too. Go for it I'd say

dokken:

I forgot to mention the university of Nottingham in Ningbo will give you a certificate no different from the university of Nottingham. It doesn't look the same for this place. That might be important. You might want to think about that

Before you take any course of study, you need to consider if your qualification will lead to a job.

Actually fada, a quick look at the courses they offer... they seem ok. Nothing really stupid as I have seen advertised elsewhere.

Here is an example from Liverpool University in Liverpool:

Irish Studies... yeah. I can see that leading to a decent job.

But yeah, Liverpool University in China does offer decent courses.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
