Private University Degree "Preston University" is acceptable for IQAMA

Hi John,

My understanding is that your certificate has to be attested. A private university is going to be an issue. It will not be recognized.

Be prepared, this could be problematic for visa.

I had to prove my degrees for employment in Saudia were authentic by using  this website.

You can use it to find out if your university is recognized--the fee is minimal.

This is an old thread, and apparently, John30 only posted one time.  (I assume his visa was not approved.)  But for those who are considering this particular university...

According to Preston Uni's website, it's a chartered university; however, no where does it state the uni is accredited.  An Internet search on preston university accredited yielded similar info.  Be aware that chartered and accredited are not the same thing.  For instance, chartered solely means an entity has received approval from a governmental agency to operate as a university and to confer degrees.  Whereas, accreditation status confirms that a university meets the specific standards established by an authorized, higher ed accrediting organization.

Having a degree obtained via distance learning from an unaccredited uni is likely to be a problem if you're required to have your credentials authenticated for your Saudi employment visa.  Moreover, John30's post highlights the importance of carefully choosing an educational program that will satisfy the criteria for potential employment as well as comply with visa regulations.
