So, does anyone on here have any fake qualifications that mean they can put letters after their name, or qualifications they have bought?
I myself am able to put letters after my name.... Sarah ?????? Hkt.B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Edit/ Also does anyone know of qualifications than one can simply buy? |

So Oxbridge give out MA's for free, whereas students at other universities have to pay tuition fees and spend a few more years at uni to get an MA, how is that fair? Or am I misunderstanding? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif). I discovered recently that the MA from Oxbridge is a historical aspect.Many centuries ago when Oxford and Cambridge first began their degrees, a student studied for a total of seven years. They were awarded an intermediate Bachelor qualification and then a Masters degree on completion. These days the 'university of life' takes over the final years of Oxbridge study, hence why they are allowed to claim an MA after several years in the working world. Katyjay will be able to supply you with a lot more details if you require them. |
