Open institute of technology. I was wondering if anybody knows any information about this. There are a few degrees you can obtain like for example a bachelor in modern computer science degree. Is it a legit thing or is it a scam ?
link About us - OPIT - Open Institute of Technology its based in Italy/malta . (not too sure)
I work for them actually so I might be a bit biased (though they don’t know this account). But we are accredited by European EQF framework and North American WES framework. Basically your degree will be recognized in those countries. And credits you get for courses can transfer to other universities.
To be exact, we’re still waiting to get accreditation approved for all of the degrees listed on the site, but these ones have been fully approved: BSc in modern computer science, MSc in Data Science and AI, MSc in Enterprise Cybersecurity
I can answer other questions too, trying to be objective.
HI u/dramamamamantra .
I’m Paolo, an Italian student who is looking forward to enroll at OPIT.
I saw that you work for them and I would like to know if I may ask some question. If you prefer, we can talk in private.
I recently enrolled in the BS for Modern computer, and it seems legit to me. Really nice personalized support and after digging into their professors LinkedIn, they seemed very professional.
I was afraid this might be equivalent to a bootcamp or something like that, but so far it’s been good.
How is the workload so far? Is it doable with a full time job?
Barely. The first 2 terms were ok, the third one is honestly barely doable and it might require you to take time off work. I’m scared and worried for the 4th one.
Thank you for the insight!
As a student currently enrolled in the BSc in Computer Science at OPIT, and halfway through my degree, I wrote my honest opinion here speakonlinelearning.com - speakonlinelearning Resources and Information. (trying to not write duplicate answers on the same topic).
I’ll gladly answer any other questions you might have.
