Unfortunately, most accreditation agencies follow processes and requirements aimed at young students. These processes are not useful for senior students and are even in direct conflict with the mission of Selinus University. Indeed, the objective of Selinus University is to award professional degrees aimed at career enhancement and skills certification. At the same time, it offers a unique, dynamic, accessible and quality higher education to adult students who cannot follow traditional on-campus study programmes but need to focus on subjects that are useful for their professional and career development.
Selinus degrees, although not formally recognised, are perfectly legal and must be understood in the correct way, i.e. as facilitators of professional employment or as incentives for career advancement (to medium/high-level positions) in national and multinational companies and organisations. Selinus international degrees, being non-governmentally accredited qualifications, should never be considered a substitute for a traditional degree, but rather a useful alternative, valid for many purposes but not for all.
