I wish to share my experience about Brixton University it is my hope this post well serve as a severe warning for those that peruse a life experience degree through Brixton University. First of all, this school does not exist. It is a company called Global Business Group. On or about January 20th, 2011 I submitted a CV resume, and filled out an application on the Website of Brixton University confirming my previous and present education, undergraduate degree earned, work experience, college credits, in-service training credits, and professional training I received. I was notified by Brixton University that my application had been approved. On March 8, 2011 I notified Brixton University, and placed my order for a Master of Science degree. I placed my order through PayPal; this is the method of payment issued by Brixton University. On April 22, 2011 Brixtion notified me and stated I sent them the wrong address and the documents were sent back to them. Brixton University did not provide me with a tracking number as proof that they sent any documents to me. I went to PayPal and filed a complaint that I had not received my order from Brixton University. Brixton notified me via email with nasty threats that I would not get a refund unless I closed my complaint with PayPal. In the many emails I received from Brixton University, Brixton repeatedly told me I was stupid and didn't have common sense because I filed a complaint with PayPal. Brixton continued to send me nasty emails and threated me with a no refund policy which is not advertised on their website.
Finally, I notified my bank, and my bank intervened as a result I was awarded a full refund. THANKS TO MY BANK I WAS RESCUED FROM the FRAUDS AT GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP/ Brixton University.
In conclusion, on May 20, 2011 I received an unofficial certificate degree from Brixton University. The certificate degree was not presentable, the typesets of print overlapped each other listing the name of this University in big bold old English lettering it stated Souvenir life experience degree at the bottom in bold lettering (Front of Degree) and a incomplete statement of terms and conditions on the back of the degree that states “This degree certificate is not an authentication feature issued by or under the authority of any government, a state, political subdivision of a state, a foreign government, political subdivision of a foreign government, and international quasi-government organization. This degree certificate is issued under the authority of the sovereign individual and remains the property of the bearer. The bearer certifies all particulars on the front of this degree certificate are true and correct. This not an official certificate and is not issued by any authority of any government entity or agency authorized to issue official certificates. This certificate is not be used for any official purpose, or to use, deal with or act upon it as if it were a genuine official certificate, or to induce any person by the belief that it is a genuine officially issued certificate. This certificate is issued to the.”(Incomplete terms of conditions) After receiving this document today it is very clear that Brixton University is fraudulent, they even acknowledge that they are not authorized to issue real degrees, Brixton University staff are unprofessional, rude, ugly, and impudent, and the university doesn’t exits it is merely a company posing itself as a university that issues fake degrees. Clearly the website of Brixton University states that its degrees are legal, and accredited by World Distance Learning Accreditation Council (WDLAC)., they clearly state that they are authorized to issue degree see Brixton University Website. (http://www.brixtonuniversity.com) This is false advertisement and fraud. There is no mention of souvenir degrees award thorough this university on its website. And once again this company is not authorized to issue degrees see link form the Oregon office of Degree Authorization.
Brixton University British Columbia Operating Illegally. Lacks authority to issue degrees.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY; YOU MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS I WAS TO RECEIVE A REFUND. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A UNIVERSITY IT DOES NOT EXISITS IT’S FAKE. They will steal your money and give you something “that’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.”
"THANKS TO MY BANK I WAS RESCUED FROM the FRAUDS AT GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP/ Brixton University."
"A fraudster accusing other fraudsters of committing fraud. Oh the irony! "
There is nothing fraudulant about life experience degrees I earned through my years of heard work and academic study. Life experience degrees are legitimate at the right, and legal schools.
I invite you to read this article about life experience degrees and how they work in your spere time. Again life experience degrees are legal and legitimate. You are wrong when you say I didn't earn this degree, I did. Life experience degrees are awarded to canidates who show proof of at least five years of work in their given fields, secondly, life experience degrees are given to canidates who have earn college credits, professional development training, , writing independently, and published work to demonstrate the knowlege one have accumilated in their life time. A life experience degree says you've shown your hard work and for your hard work in your life time you are awarded a life experience degree. I have graduated with an undergradute degree and completed some graduate work earning 21 credits-University and another 14 graduate credits inservice and professional development studies. You said "why didn't you simply drive over to the University of British Columbia and purchase one from them"?Unfortunately The University of British Columbia may not have an experiemential degree program, this innovative method of education is new. Also let's put this in perspective do you think any college would be that accommodating to issue degrees to people like myself, they would lose trillions of dollars, they would rather have canidiate of their university spend, and spend money for course work. Please take the time and read this article on life experience degrees thanks for your thoughts http://www.aboutlifeexperiencedegrees.com/
Hello Jazzcat23,
I'm glad you went to this website and read the information for yourself and everything you quoted from this website is true however, you left this part out " The truth is that these life experience degrees DO WORK. But you have to know how to work them. Keep reading if you want to know how to make a Life Experience degree work for you." And "Still not sure what to do? Here's a suggestion. DO BOTH! Get your degree from Almeda University or Rochville University or one of them. At the same time, enroll in your local traditional college. Now spend the same time on each." And finally, C'mon, will these Degrees Really Work? In my case I have done both I already have a traditional undergraduate degree degree, and now I seeking a graduate life experience degree.
Futhermore,
"I am answering this question for people that are seeking employment in the private sector. After all, I assume that's what you are curious about. Will employers recognize and accept these Life Experience Degrees? Well, if you know what you are doing and know how to work them, the answer is an astounding - YES.
Don't believe the garbage you read on any website that tells you that Life Experience Degrees are fakes or scams or that these degrees will get you fired. Those websites (such as degree.net) are written by the people that run and dominate the "institutions of higher learning." They want to dictate the rules and set the terms with an iron first. You conform to their standards or you're railroaded off to the unemployment line, the hell with you as far as they're concerned. They call you names, claim you're inferior, and disparage your experience and degree, saying you got your Life Experience degree at a "diploma mill" rather than somewhere that recognizes your experience and rewards you for it.
seek out all the PRIVATE colleges and apply to them all. If you are lucky, you will find one that accepts your Life Experience Degree credits.
More and less. Canadian employers are more likely to accept the concept of experiential learning as a valid form of education. Private employers in Canada accept Life Experience degrees at a higher rate than in the United States.'
With that said, life experience degrees do work and again they are legitimate and legal degrees, provided they are issued from legitimate schools.
You're right and I thank you for reading the article, I thought it was interesting, but as I told you before I already have a traditional undergraduate degree. Again you are right life experience degrees has its many draw backs as you have read in the article.
Goood luck, and best of wishes to you.
OP; you are so right, you saved me from THEM! Thanks a MILLION; all you people; read about it online BEFORE committing to anything.
Thanks AGAIN :)))))))))

is there a person who has been cheated like me and could advise me on what to do to push these crooks keep their promises or refund?
what can I do to get back my money? Thank you for your advice

This is a complete lie. Marie was a reject, and was denied a degree.
Brixton is not affiliated with any University in canada, and is a UK based institution
that operates legally
Brixton is a boutique
