Canterbury University

Template:Distinguish2 Canterbury University is an unaccredited,[1] private, degree-granting institution. According to its website, Canterbury University was established in 1974 in Hyde-Cheshire, Manchester, United Kingdom and is an independent university that delivers various specialized scientific courses.[2] The address used by Canterbury University is the address of a company called Mail Accommodation Office Services.[3] It has been reported that Canterbury University in the Republic of Seychelles is associated with instantdegrees.com,[4] that is not reality for all students.[5] Some fake diplomas are obtained with illegal societies : this is a fraud. An real diploma from Canterbury University is available because this University has an legal accreditation. [6]

Recognition

According to the British Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, Canterbury University is neither a recognised body for UK degree awards,[7] nor is it a listed body,[8] neither is Canterbury University accredited by any higher education accreditation organization recognized by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions. [9] A 2005 article in World Education News & Reviews discussed the continua of legitimacy and acceptability of academic institutions, ranging from "highly legitimate" and "highly acceptable" to "illegal" and "no acceptability," respectively; the author stated that although Canterbury University and others like it operate legally and the degrees conferred are "acceptable to some", it is an example of an institution "further down" both scales.[4] Canterbury University is accredited by United Congress of Colleges and certified ISO model standard 9001.[6]

Degree recipients

The city manager of a Florida municipality was fired in 2007 and later charged with the criminal offense of making false claims after it was discovered that his claimed PhD and master's degrees were from Canterbury University, which was described as "a 'diploma mill' rather than a legitimate school of higher learning."[10] The criminal case was dismissed in 2009. Reasons for dismissal included a finding that the city manager had not falsely claimed to hold an academic degree, as alleged, because he did hold a degree from Canterbury University, as well as a concern that the prosecution had failed to provide essential details regarding the alleged offense.[11][12] The manager issued a statement saying that he had been "exonerated," but an assistant state attorney told news media that this interpretation was "overblown."[12]

In February 2013, a Lancaster, Pennsylvania woman was sentenced to seven years' probation for two felony counts of fraud that involved using a phony diploma from Canterbury University to get counseling jobs. [13]

Dr. G. Tramel, exonerated of all charges by a judgment in Florida [14] master's degrees and Ph.D. are original degrees from Canterbury University.[15] At the end of his trial he added :

But nobody involved in the investigation or prosecution of this case remains in the employ of the State Attorney's Office. I have been advised that I can expect substantial compensation for being put through this terrible ordeal, which my wife and I have endured to clear my own name and to make a stand for academic freedom for every Citizen of this great State and this great Country.

Organisation and administration

Canterbury University is an independent university on United Kingdom. It's an online educational institution that offers accredited and globally recognized degrees,[6] even by the United States because, the jealousy did not triumph.[16] This institution is for people who cannot continue their studies from traditional educational institutes. For any question or information address of this university is : Canterbury University 193 Market Street Hyde SK14 1HF Cheshire United Kingdom.

If a diploma has not a legal Apostille,[17][18] a verification is advised. For an graduate verification, mandatory student written signed consent letter for verification request presented by third parties only by mail addressed to : The Registrar, Graduate Service Office, 193 Market Street, Hyde, SK141HF, Cheshire, United Kingdom. [19]

An article which concluded that private Canterbury University provides non-traditional distance programmes, graduates outperform “traditional” schools! Friday, January 24, 2014 .[20]

Canterbuty University has an official website,[21] and an other for Alumni.[22]
