Unrecognized University..

All I can say is it was my biggest regret to get Bachelors from cyprus institute of marketing.. I paid too much and i gt a degree which i cannot use anywhere. Nobody recognizes your university neither certificate.. My admissions to MBA were rejected because of your degree even in Europe because your it wasnt worth or got that credentials from cyprus edu board. Seriously i want to put a case on this uni and sue it. You waisted my time money and broke my dreams to study abroad instead i did the the projects in very hardworking manner. Even it cant be used in United Arab Emirates for visa requirements. If i would be there i will definently drag you guys to court for doing this to me. Yes i am student of CIMA and it ruined my life to be one. This is my feedback for you guys. IF ANYTHING U CAN DO IS TO CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE IS GIVE ME RECOGNIZED DEGREE. I would like to know your thoughts on it. Show quoted text
