Thanks Turnoi for the enlightment.Actually,one of my students asked me this question and i wanted to seek opinions of other ESL pundit in this forum.
The student in question wanted to enrol for a diploma course that counts towards Masters,but the entry requirement is at least high school diploma/work experience.When i went through the course curriculum it was more research based and the content is more of post graduate level studies.Ironically,the student's friend who's finished the course with good grades doesn't have a bachelor's degree!
Once again thanks Turnoi for the info.
