Is polish "tytul magistra" equivalent to Masters Degree in Computer Science

31 Aug 2011 / #1

I have a "tytul magistra informatyki" z Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, which organization should I choose to evaluate it to Masters Degree in Computer Science in USA to be recognized by USCIS?

So far I did two evaluations one with ECE and one with RFE both after analyzing course by course stated that it is equivalent to Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and Master Degree in Computer Science. However USCIS do not accept that but instead relies on EDGE, which is some sort of paid membership organization!!

Any ideas how to convince them? It sounds radiculus, especially that I used that evaluation before and it worked fine...

Have you tried contacting them:

It seems they are not reliable. If you papers are fine, then they have no basis for this. I wouldn't do that.

Good luck getting onto a PhD course in the UK with your Polishs 'Masters': a Magister is very simply not a Masters.
