Open University UK is Royal Chartered university in this case it makes it NA / RA equivalent. Is Privy Council involved I know about OU for many years now their status is not the same as some other universities we discussed.
For example NARIC will always evaluate OU degrees are equivalent and equal to National Standard Degrees in France, Russia and Denmark.
Not the case with KU, you keep saying that KU degrees are demanding, and this is very good to hear, KU appears to earn good reputation but their degree
is unaccredited and not of the national standard or format. This is limiting factor and not in the favor of the degree holder who would be served better if the degree came with such QA stamp of approval. I will have to take your word for it. Will HR manager do the same take your word? WIll licensing board take your word?
Yes, the same statement is true is for diploma mills.
