Re: I want to move to New York from the UK
Yeah i know there are a few in and around Manhattan, but nothing that popped out to me with a high level of quality food, something that you remember by name and experience. This is the sort of thing we are setting up in the UK, along with banquiting suites, and the idea of opening a franchise in New York and other major cities is quite inspiring.
I have big ambition, and to acheive big things, you have to think big things.

No that is cool, i need blunt answers. Well yes it is a degree by definition. I had a graduation ceremony and everything and attended a university, so yeah its a degree. I was reading on a website that a degree in business management is one of the desirable qualification for H1B, so i guess applying for jobs and seeing where that takes me is the first step. If i dont ask, i will never find out right?
Sorry to be so blunt, but as many before have said, you have little to no chance of making it here as a UK citizen.

If you become engaged to a nice girl who is a US citizen, you can come over here and work.
Best of luck.

It's not a degree. I remember a HNC being a little lower down the ladder than a HND, which I had to get in order to qualify for University. I'd take the extra time to keep studying, and work on getting a Masters degree if I were you. No one in NYC is going to take you seriously as a manager of anything here without one.

Re: I want to move to New York from the UK
Until recently I worked in a UK university in the Engineering department. The COHE was what we gave to students who had managed to pass one-and-a-bit years of the three year BEng degree programme, but had no hope of successfully completing the degree.
In my experience the COHE is not a degree, but I am not familiar with the OP's uni or programme. Maybe they do it differently. Also our uni was not set up to offer COHEs as something to aim for as an end result - maybe some unis are.

Re: I want to move to New York from the UK
In response to the OP and various posts speculating on the situation regarding university education, many UK universities give intermediate awards to students who complete 1 or 2 years of university. Where I work, for example, 1 year/120 CR = Certificate, 2 yr/240 CR = Diploma, 3 yr/360 CR = unclassified degree, 4yr/480 CR = Honours degree.
It beats me how someone could go to university and not even be clear whether or not they have a degree. Surely all the OP has to do is look at what it says on the diploma handed out following "graduation"
As for really, really wanting to lve in the US, I really, really want to be as good looking as George Clooney, but have slightly more realistic expectations (more along the lines of Brad Pitt).

Marry a USC or head down under - Australia. Your education and experience, due respect, next to no chance in short term of moving.

Re: I want to move to New York from the UK
I actually ended up not quite getting the grades in my O levels to qualify for A levels, so had to spend a year doing a vocational course (CPVE) which led to my HND, which got me the points I needed for Uni. I know people who got into Uni with an HNC, but it was all about the points. It just took me an extra year of actually working, which I forgot to do at school, to get into Uni.

Wow. I sure am glad I don't have the OPs problem. What a load of negative and truly horrid replies. You'd all think because you (like me) have made the USA home, that no one else should make the very same move to improve their life/lifestyles.
OP: try this site for all your needs and bloody good luck to you! :0)... Most of the stuff in this thread is utter gobbledygook!
