So I have seen this discussed in here a few times this year. I thought that it was interesting that Swissinfo picked it up.[Link to the story here.](https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-private-universities-issuing–unrecognised–degrees/47786510?utm_campaign=teaser-in-channel&utm_content=o&utm_source=swissinfoch&utm_medium=display)

Interesting. I thought the term was already protected.
I think it’s not the good way to deal with it. I prefer the French methods who protect the denomination of the diploma. If we do that, all this scams « universities» can’t propose some bachelor or Master in their programs
Thank you for sharing. I think it is shameful, as they seem to be targeting young people from lower-income countries who wish to study and build a life in Geneva. Getting an internship (even unpaid) in the UN is notoriously hard, so playing this card, particularly given the cost of living here, is an immoral marketing tactic.
If you are interested this article was already discussed here 10 days ago.
Don’t know if it was already available in english tho.

A few months ago a redditor ran their own investigation on diploma mills and got some traction. I wonder if this is a result of their hard work?
