Education transfer

Hey Guys

I have a 3 year Ba Hons from a university in england. Will the certificate and transcripts from this degree be enough for getting jobs in the states, or have people ever encountered problems when applying for jobs as their degree is from UK?

Thanks for the help!

Hi there - I used the World Education Service on www.wes.org to convert my degree/A-Levels/GCSEs, as they were very reasonable for price ($150), and it didn't take too long. Also, all the employers and potential employers I've spoken to so far have accepted them. The GPA came out very well for my degree - I had a mid range 2:2, and that gave me a 3.19 GPA! Most of the companies I applied to in the UK needed a 2:1 minimum, whereas the ones I'm applying to the UK are very happy with around a 3.0! GCSE's are considered the equiv of a High School Diploma, which helped with getting my Christmas job, and A-Levels count towards degree classes.

Hope that this helps!
