    Yet, my degree from there is only deemed equvalent to BA
    And in your case the BA stands for Bugger-All!!

        Is that because they were awarded according to your marxist credentials and how many fellow students you denounced and got sent to the gulag?

            Nah, Uni was free because I had distinction from school and so only had to pass math exam with A grade to be accepted, which I did

                There are people who don't get an A in maths? Surely such cretins are locked away in a safe space?

                  I did my degree over 5yrs on day release (from work not prison, ) there were also people who were doing the degree full time in 3 years, it was interesting that the part timers were a lot more motived & had experience to back up their views whereas the full timers had more time for report writing (if they were not in the pub) but had no real world clue.

                  So from that experience I would rate a longer term with real-world experience over full time study.

                    Sounds like an apprenticeship.

                      In construction apprenticeships are for trades, sponsorship is for professionals!

                      But yes they are the same thing
