we always used articulate in our documents, it means a 1-year part time top up degree for our HD students. It's a dirty means for those UK colleges to earn the easy money from our students. I don't think they can learn much from a 1-year part time studies. This ultimate purpose is for those UK college to sell their degrees. Too bad many suckers willing to pay
ReplyDeleteThough I don't see how your comment relate to my original post, I basically agree what you say. Higher education is a business too. If suckers want to pay for a degree, they are more than happy to oblige.
