Is it true that a U.S. degree is no greater than a U.K. GCSE "O" level?

In the UK they have O levels and A levels\n\nI went to an international school that had a similar system to America. They tend to have a high school diploma, graduating high school when you are 17 or 18. Some people also do the Advanced Placement classes, which are first year university courses (as in university in America for the first year, you usually attend a range of general classes before you declare your major in the second year). \n\nA U.S degree, as in a degree from university is the equivalent as the UK's degree at the end of undergraduate degree. \n\nIt is a bit still to say that an O level is the same as a university degree from lets say Harvard university or Yale

I don't don't if you have courses where you are, but in the UK you can take correspondences courses.

I would personally say you may get the job without any hassle in US or UK but the salary would be much less than the regular degree holders. Employers normally look for people who have spent productive time in academic environment and have undergone thorough brushing up of the concepts fulltime so that they can apply them in the work place. The concept is very simple, an educated person brings in his experience and new  strategies to the work place. So every employer wants employees to have very sound foundation in basics. This is partly or totally missing in partime education. Hence you may get the job but you may not have same salary. I hope this helps.

Probably he can. CS is accepted degree from most countries (depending on the school).\nCheck www.ed.gov

No, follow the requirements. Most Universities accept 3.0 but, attempt 3.7 at least to recieve a better chance.\nGet recommendations.

They might. It depends on the school you choose, the programs avaiable, your academic qualification...or even other types of qualifications. You need to check with the Computer Science or Engineering department of the school you are considering, as well as checking with Admissions, AND looking for outside sources. Work study is almost always available in US universities. I can't speak for outside the US.

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.

A uk degree is far better than the one offered by australian university , because of the education standards there.besides most of the univ in Uk have a better reputation on world map than australian univ.I ,myself wanted to opt for an engineering degree from AUS but then somebody told me that it is not safe for grls besides they have poor infrastructure facilities.

Hello!  Unfortunately, most degrees given in other countries will not 'transfer' to the US's requirements.  For example, we require classes such as History (usually US-based) speech communications, 1st and 2nd level writing courses, and 3 semesters of language before one can even acheive their bachelor's here!  But try anyway.  Depends on your experience, your education, and on you and your personal history.  I wish you luck.

If you mean better...I have no clue...I know nothing about the UK....but the Canadian education is one of the most widely recognized...close to the American...

Its called B.S and M.S in the US for undergrad and masters respectively (B.Sc and M.Sc in the UK). As far as my knowledge goes all B.Sc degrees in UK are 3 years. Unlike the US where the first year is spent studying subjects from other majors, in the UK students start studying courses from their respective major (for which they enrolled) right from the first day.\n\nUS grad. schools usually require 16 years of education (highschool + undergrad). Hence having a B.Sc from the UK may eliminate you from applying to some of them unless you are going to Cambridge, Oxford etc. which are well renouned.\n\nUS undergrad education is more well rounded and much tougher than UK's. This may differ based on what you want to major in, but overall for example in Engineering US education is way ahead!

O levels don't exist it anymore. They are now GCSE's.  Cambridge is a university so i don't think they do them.  But cambridge is also the examining body.  I think you would have to go to college for GCSE's or a special course.

A-Levels are (or used to be when I did them) generally of a higher standard than British degrees. The point of a degree is research, and studying independantly within broad guidelines. It's more about discipline, and following your own research within your particular school of study. Some Universities in England don't function like this though, and the object there seems to be to regurgitate and back up through research the lecturer's opinions for exams/coursework, rather than having opinions of your own. The point of high-school graduation in America (as I understand it) is to make them easy enough for all students of all abilities to be able to graduate, so that everyone can have a big University-style graduation and not feel left out. SATs in America are of a far lower standard than A-Levels, as are their degrees (which are in many subjects, with "Majors" in their chosen subject). Rather than being at a level where they can specialise in one or two subjects, they go for a more GCSE or A-Level spread of disciplines. \n\nSo if you're not that strong a student, have enough money to pay all your fees, just want the experience of being at a University institution, and don't care about the quality of the degree you'll get at the end of it, then by all means, apply to an American University. If you want something you can be proud of, and which will be recognised throughout the world as being a worthwhile quality degree, then go to a British Uni.

U.S. is certainly better .First of all itis cheaper to study in U.S. than U.K. Also u tend to get a job more easily in U.S. after u complete ur degree than in U.K.
