An airport? As long as it wasn't Heathrow, you can have two, at least.

Depends on whether you think science is about scientific fact or scientific inquiry doing empirical research (or both - I think it's both). Many who do research into leadership etc would definitely say that what they did was 'scientific' and I'd agree with them, so I think Business Studies can be a BSc.

Nuff of that, let's see if Iginla's been sidelined for the season yet.

In which case - you may need to check whether your qualification is recognised, and at what level - there is often country-specific guidance as to where your degree was earned. I think often UK degrees have to be 2:1 or above to qualify for Masters level entry to Canadian Universities - not sure what the Bulgarian specific regs are. Pick a couple you may be interested in (presumably in Alberta or Manitoba) and check out their International students application pages.

UofC, for example, seems to suggest that the programs offered in Bulgaria vary widely, and careful review of existing qualifications needs to be done prior to acceptance. (it may of course be that your qualification exceeds the entry criteria - I haven't checked any subject specific guidance, and know sweet FA about Business Studies, save that I took a handful of modules at undergrad level for two terms and dropped out as it bored me to tears. The tutors were gutted :rofl:)

:D Not even I would stoop that low. I do know the guy responsible for the 'planning' (I use the term loosely you understand) to move operations into T5 though. afaik he's recovering from his breakdown nicely.

Any university that is of interest to you will probably have a "Prior Learning Assessment" section on their website and some people you can speak to where they can assist in the evaluation your overseas credentials. They usually have a cut off point of 7 years since you took your previous course(s). There will be a fee of this assessment.

Another thing to look at is IQAS, or a similar institution through other provinces. They will assess your overseas credentials and write it up as a Canadian equivalent. Ask for the Assessment for Educational Institute - it costs $100 and can take 8-12 weeks to receive back. But then you have your exact equivalent in black and white.
