Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
Opportunity knocks the door once not twice. Learning from BIU is unique, and its learning sessions are different from on campus learning universities. In my opinion BIU fulfilled international learning and teaching standards (i.e.  inclusiveness in education, quality education, equity and equality, integrity and validity).

Opinion - Bircham International University:
2008: I thank Bircham University because it gave me the chance to continue my education on a distance learning program. I completed at Bircham University three Ph.D's, the first in Applied Mathematics, the second in Computer Science with Magna Cum Laude, and the third in Applied Statistics with Magna Cum Laude also. If I have the time I would complete also my knowledge in other fields of knowledge, and all this thanks to Bircham University, and with the support and valuable guidance of Dr. Antoine Abou Assaf, Bircham University's delegate in Middle East and North Africa, and Dr. William Martin, Bircham University's CEO. They both provided me with all the help I needed to complete all the work that I have done during those years. Moreover, the distance learning program is a fantastic adventure rich of pleasure and knowledge that I invite everyone seeking knowledge and self discipline to experience. I have been appointed teacher of mathematics and statistics for over three years at Notre Dame University NDU in Lebanon and also at Middle East University, both recognized by the Ministry of Education. My sincere thanks to Bircham University.

2016: Dear Professor William Martin, Hello. This Dr. Abdo Miled Abou Jaoudé. Do you remember me? To help you in doing so, I am from Lebanon and I took three Ph.Ds from BIU. I also attended the BIU’s ceremony in Lebanon where you have distributed the diplomas to all the graduates including myself. I will always be proud to be a BIU graduate with your person as the CEO of the university. I wish also that BIU continues its way to Absolute Success especially after your continuous and tremendous efforts in addition to the support of all the BIU’s staff. I am now an Assistant Professor in the department of mathematics and Statistics at Notre Dame University, Lebanon. I thank BIU and thank all the persons who had helped me. Especially I thank you Prof.

2017: Today, The Journal "Systems Science and Control Engineering", of the famous Taylor and Francis Publishers, United Kingdom, has published my new research paper in Applied Mathematics and Engineering titled:
"The Paradigm of Complex Probability and Analytic Nonlinear Prognostic for Unburied Petrochemical Pipelines"

Review - Bircham International University:
You kept me pushing my career forward since I joined this honorable university and at last here I am reaping my rewards. For me it was an incredible dream to have a post graduate degree in Somalia where I live now, where there was no functional government for the last 20 years. I still remember when i was collecting some of my colleagues to join this university with me and how hard it was to convince them to do their masters through distance learning. I confess that many of them have already had their master degrees before me from Bircham University. Thanks to the staff of Bircham University MEA, specially Graziella who was the bridge between me and the university, and who was coordinating the program tirelessly. In fact text books were being sent on time, evaluation reports on time, and any other needed information was timely circulated. After that, as you stated I am satisfied that I made great development and career building, and benefited from the courses I have been given through your distance learning programs with your continuous whisper in my ear day and night. I have to say that unless I would not join this university, my dreams would still remain dreams and would not see the light.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
When I started the Bachelor’s degree in Computation Engineering at BIU, my expectations were to update my knowledge and broaden my vision in Computer Industry. Once I graduated, I felt like every course was a step forward in my professional career then I enrolled for the Master’s in Computer Systems & Networks.
BIU innovative methodology taught me to think critically and increased my intellectual capacity. I also value that I was able to immediately apply much of what I had studied in my job. The Computer Engineering program at BIU equipped me with valuable skills, attributes and experiences which are necessary for anyone facing the real working world. The program has also widened my knowledge and improved my logical thinking and problem solving skills in my daily work. Data Security & Cryptography course, for example, was extremely useful and today is an important support for my current responsibilities, so much that it helps me make decisions daily to help protect the Company from Cyber Incidents.
From the standpoint of competitiveness, the Bachelor & Master’s program enhanced my opportunities in the job market, it opened more doors for me, it is a plus. I am grateful for the knowledge acquired and I thank Bircham International University for the quality education at affordable fees. I feel now empowered after finishing my Bachelor & Master’s program. Finally, I would like to encourage everybody to take this opportunity to pursue an education at Bircham International University while fulfilling their commitment to their jobs and families.

Talking from my personal experience, I had spent 4 months searching throughout the web for distance learning universities throughout the world. I was looking for flexibility, value for money, organization and professionalism. I found all these attributes in the Bircham University degree I pursued, through which I could read, study and write at my own pace, and balance my time between full-time work, study and my personal life, thereby practising time management and self discipline. I am doing my best to encourage my friends and colleagues to consider taking a Bircham University degree so that they may share the same rewarding experience as myself. Since graduating with Bircham University, I've never looked back and my career keeps on flourishing.

Dear Professor William Martin. Let me start by saying that you have excellent abilities of leadership and we’re so lucky at BIU to have an understanding boss like you at helms of affairs. Thanks to you for your support and guidance.

Brigitte Johannilla Maria De Lange (France)
Master of Science in Neural & Brain Science: Graduated - Degree Received (2011)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
Today, I received my diploma (master of science neural/brain science) which finalizes two years of studying at Bircham University. As a whole, my studying experience at Bircham University was a pleasant one. I want to congratulate Bircham University on the choice of the name of the program, neural and brain science. It results to be a progressive name since science has proven the brain to be not only about neurons, but more about glia, the 'other' brain cells, as you may have read in my final report. So neuro (neural) science is only half the game.
I also wanted to share some good news with you. My first book about the brain has been published!  
It is about brainconscious living and how to keep your brain healthy into old age. The book is based on the final paper I wrote for Bircham University, but it is adapted for the general public. I also developed a special website about brainconscious living http://www.leefbreinbewust.nl
I want to thank Bircham for giving me the tools to pursue this new direction in my life.

Cornelia C. Gentner (Switzerland)
Doctor of Philosophy in Naturopathy - Homeopathy: Graduated - Degree Received (2022)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Opinion - Bircham International University:
I am also very grateful to you that you have urged me with the choice of the books for the 6 reports to work on the book of Dr. MD, NMD Joe Rozencwajg. Through him I learned about his "development" of Fibonaccy potencies in homeopathy. There it is also about what you say..... Until now after Hahnemann, many homeopaths choose an arbitrary potency, just like that, from the stomach, without knowing which one is the correct one.
I think, since there is still no really helpful therapy in the treatment of Cervical Spine Distortion and Cervical Whiplash Injury, and I have been developing and refining the therapy described in the thesis for years, it makes sense to publish it in book form, so that other interested physicians, and naturopaths can profit from it.
I thank you again for everything - BIU is a wonderful university! Which is worth recommending to others!

 

Cyril Ayetuoma Ogbokor (Namibia)
Doctor of Philosophy in Economics: Graduated - Degree Received (2010)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
I am currently a registered Ph.D student in Economics in the Faculty of Business & Media. I have fallen in love with Bircham University since registering for my Ph.D programme for the following reasons:
Firstly, Bircham University is highly sensitive to the economic status of their students. You could be given a rebate depending on the reasons advanced by you. It is therefore not out of place to state that Bircham University tuition fees in respect of their various programmes are affordable and reasonable.
Secondly, Bircham University programmes are flexible and customized. Over the years, I have been searching for a University, where I could study for a Ph.D. degree and also keep my current job at the same time. Bircham University has offered me this opportunity.
Thirdly, Bircham University assessment criteria takes into consideration the experience as well as the various writings and publications of its' students. This is a highly commendable and constructive step.
I will forever remain grateful to the authority of Bircham University for creating alternative opportunities for those who cannot easily leave their current full time jobs for the purpose of studies.
Felicitations

Doctor Honoris Causa in Adult Education: Graduated - Degree Received (2005)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
2003: Thank you so much for faxing my professor comments. I forwarded them to the publisher of the book based on my thesis at BIU. I'm still awaiting their reviewer's comments, but Dr. Ramirez's comments seemed to help a lot. You are the kind of mentor that makes learning a lifelong pleasure. We are both looking forward to our visit to the BIU office in Madrid. I look forward to receiving the diploma. BIU has been a wonderful experience - one that has opened may doors for me. As an American holding American undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees, I wanted to experience the "European Approach" to graduate education and found BIU to provide exactly that, but in an innovative, and thankfully distance learning framework.

2019: My situation may be somewhat unique. First, all of my prior education (BA, MPH, MD) was within the USA at "accredited," non-distance learning institutions. Given practice obligations, however, I still maintained an interest in a more global educational perspective including the novel learning by distance approach. My personal interest at that time was in linguistics, more specifically how humans acquire and utilize language from a distinctly neurobiological perspective.

Originally a distance learning student in the Master's program in Linguistics at University of Edinburgh, I found that as a physician, I knew considerably more about the neurobiological aspects of linguistics and education than most of my instructors. A world search at the time revealed no established programs of study in the neurobiology of language acquisition. I ran across a book by a Harvard professor describing and evaluating novel distance learning institutions (I can't recall the author's name or the book title) that included a recommendation regarding BIU for adult learners like myself interested in a European style education. In the process of inquiring about BIU, I came to realize that what I was really seeking was more in the line of a PhD in Education in Linguistics from a perspective (neurobiology) that was, at the time, entirely unique. Hence, I would need to study and research quite independently. BIU offered this option as well as a topic advisor flexible enough to "learn with me." After some further exploration, I came to realize that (1) I was seeking a terminal doctoral degree (meaning "accreditation" wasn't as important), (2) the value to me of an independent doctoral program of study would be in the dissertation rather than existing coursework, and (3) the value of my field of study would be in the publication of the dissertation, allowing me to introduce the topic and myself to the world.

The result was a two-year program of study resulting in my dissertation, "A Neurobiological Theory and Method of Language Acquisition," which later became UNLOCK THE GENIUS WITHIN: NEUROBIOLOGICAL TRAUMA, TEACHING AND TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING (Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2005). This ensured that my research was "introduced to the world," and I gained both a globally recognized expertise in the field and have had the particularly enjoyable experience of working with colleagues worldwide in pioneering this approach to learning and language acquisition. Hence, in my particular case, I can say with enthusiasm that my PhD from BIU proved everything for which I was looking and much more.

Interestingly, after receiving my doctoral degree, I taught at a US, urban, residential-based university for some years, noting that they "accepted" my USA degrees as proof of my academic competence, but sometimes scoffed at my doctoral degree from BIU because it was not USA accredited. The same colleagues and administrators scoffed at everything educational obtained outside the US as beneath the quality of US education. In short, they needed what I'd learned and published, which was, at the time pretty much unavailable anywhere in the USA or abroad, while ignorantly thinking that USA "accreditation" would automatically "validate" what I learned, published, knew and would be teaching. Looking back, I think this was, and largely still remains, a consequence of the businessification of US education, whereby administrative faculty, often with a degree in business or business administration, believed that it was not necessary for them to have any specific topic knowledge of the university's offerings, leaving them to have to rely entirely on accreditation to assure them that their faculty was appropriately trained. I now believe that this is one of several major problems at the very heart of our now failing educational system. That is, education has always been to me primarily a service to humankind, not a business offering mainly a product (i.e. degree). It is, admittedly both, but currently the stress is on the latter, creating a distinct imbalance. At this time, few administrators, I think, would agree with this, and, as long as this is the case, accreditation per se will probably remain a factor for any US citizen if the degree one is seeking (1) isn't a terminal degree, (2) the field of study is rather new, (3) the student's expertise is beyond or outside of available faculty, and/or (4) higher education, like medicine, education, social and other humanitarian services continue to fall under the control of product-oriented business.

In summary, again, I don't regret my course of study and action at all; however, yes, I have "encountered instances of trouble using or citing my degree from BIU." I suggest that this should be a consideration in doing any degree-resulting, adult, distance-learning study abroad. Non-US education never used to be "accredited" by outside bodies like states, governments, or non-governmental bodies, but rather by the faculty of the particular institution. That is sadly changing, though the direction European institutions offering "open," degree-resulting, adult, distance learning programs seem to remain rooted in research, service and credit transferability leaving issues of quality of education still to the faculty of the various institutions rather than other outside bodies.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
Bircham University has certainly more than satisfied my expectations. In the beginning of the program, I asked if Bircham University would help me to decide the title of my thesis. Bircham University replied that in their experience reading and studying for the books assigned would suggest the best thesis topic. Indeed, so it has been. The more I immersed myself in my studies the clearer did it become what the thesis would be about.

I’m now writing my PhD thesis (Philosophy of Mind) and take this opportunity to thank the Bircham University for all that it has given me during my years of study. I am reflecting on what you wrote in your letter and believe that it is not the words and sentences in the books that I have studied that have created the interest in me to study but rather it is the way that the Bircham University has influenced me to look for the deeper truth in the books which I read. I have felt the personal interest which the examiners, especially Professor Carmen Ramirez Hurtado, took in my work and which encouraged me to delve deeper into the meaning of the sentences in the books. That part of my studies is now officially behind me but my studies will always be part of me. For this I am grateful!

Testimony - Bircham International University:
My experience with Bircham University in Madrid Spain was very rewarding. Working with my advisor was of great help. He was an inspiration to my spirit and encouragement to complete one of my life's goals set when I had first entered University many years ago. Having to work to support my home and family I was encouraged by all to complete my dreams. Having succeeded from my studies and hard work I have grown in confidence and mental abilities. I share my knowledge with others to help better their lives and tasks. I take pride in Bircham University as being one of the best international universities where its students share from their world experiences. My mind was not confined to traditional classes and limited experiences. From the use of the Internet our time has come to expand our minds into the far reaches where there is no limits. Like an old Chinese proverb, "seek not to find answers but seek to understand the questions". Bircham University provided ability for me to accomplish this as ongoing in my quest for knowledge. Thank you Universidad Bircham Madrid de España. 

I am now living back in Texas. I have left the company that I was with in Australia and am now working with a major oil company and with one of the largest oil industry engineering companies. I am a chief consulting engineer responsible for deep offshore drilling and completion engineering operations. Just before being accepted for work with these companies, they had a full back ground check made on me as well as looking into my Ph.D. degree from Bircham University and other education degrees plus my engineering certification. I was passed with a full acceptance for work and ability. This was good for I thought that maybe someone would make a debate over my schooling with Bircham University. But this was not the case. They were proud to have me on board handling critical engineering applications with responsibility of 150+ million dollar drilling programs.

I have been approved by the UK government Engineering Councils Register for professional engineer. I thank you and all at Bircham University for your support and advanced education. I will continue to do my best and provide good engineering practices and respond to the needs of others. I will serve in good standing all that I had learned from Bircham University.

Well you will not believe this, after a long interview via phone conference with the director of the school science department from Oxford University in the UK and with two key professors and from many difficult questions, I thought that I would not be accepted. They asked me many things on my past schooling dating back when I first went to college and my studies and grades to my time up to Bircham University and my experiences with Bircham studies programs. After the interview I thought that I had not done well and that it was over as far as me being accepted or attending school at Oxford University. The next day the school phoned me and also sent a special delivery letter and sent an email stating that I am accepted to attend University of Oxford post graduate studies in Nanotechnology. I had been selected one out of hundreds that had applied.

I was also admitted at Walden University in Florida. The president of Walden University wrote a personal letter to me explaining how a distance learning degree program, like the one from BIU,  is very well considered by the US Department of Education and by them. See attached.

Review - Bircham International University:
I work and live overseas... I'm a teacher. From 2002 to 2008, I taught at a university and college in Korea; now I'm at an international school in Georgia. After finishing two master's degrees, I searched all over the world for a Ph.D. program that was: (a) affordable, which includes not requiring obsolete residency periods; (b) online, so I could do my research via the Internet; (c) flexible enough to allow me to write a dissertation that could/would be published and thus read. Only Bircham University met every one of my requirements. I wrote my thesis as a series of articles, 100% (110% actually, considering a follow up piece also got accepted) of which has appeared in peer-reviewed, professional journals. I didn't have to fly around the planet to sit in dusty libraries...I did everything from the comfort of my Asian apartment...books and the WWW were all the sources/references I needed. Having my Bircham University Ph.D. has opened several entire career fields to me...for now I'll be pursuing becoming an Internet Technology Director for a school...via being the Educational Technologist (my doctorate is in this area). The academic world is not populated with the open-minded...on the contrary, schools are the worst for harboring dinosaurs who are threatened by progress. People are going to tell you Bircham University is unaccredited. Accreditation is a financial matter, which determines whether or not an organization can offer federal loans...that's all. People are going to tell you an online Ph.D. isn't as good as an on ground one. It wasn't so long ago that the same thing was said about online master's degrees...now an online MS/MA is considered more prestigious because of the self-motivation and other qualities students must possess in order to succeed at them. Don't listen to the Luddites. Bircham University will have ISO accreditation soon and this will shut up the critics for good. In the meantime, have faith in what you know is right...and what hundreds of satisfied Bircham University graduates tell you. Get started now and beat your competition to the punch. Sooner or later everyone will come to Bircham University... Be one of the pioneers... The early adopters!

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Testimony - Bircham International University:
First of all I was so surprised and touched by the fact that you are registering my birthday and sending me wishes. This is a human touch that is very much appreciated. First of all, I would like to express how satisfied I am with the learning experience at Bircham University. Ms. Graziella can explain to you how much I was worried before entering the Master's program. I am 52 years old, loaded with responsibilities and already working on two jobs. I have a husband and two adult children. I always wished to complete my higher studies, but did not have a chance in my life to do so. Had it not been for Bircham University and the support I got from Ms. Graziella, I wouldn't have decided to do so. During my studies, it went so smooth and my grade point average is 4.0, and I finished my thesis, and now I am enrolling to proceed with Ph.D., which I did not have the intention before, but because of the pleasant time I spent, I decided to do so. The university has been so flexible, co-operative and supportive that I enjoyed the learning experience. I am already giving my word of mouth to a lot of people here in Egypt about my great experience with Bircham University, and of course I would be honored to give my testimony, as an aged adult who, with the help of Bircham University was able to make it. Just give me a chance to prepare some flowery words that suit what I really feel about the university. Again I am thanking you for your support and co-operation and above all your human and friendly touch with the students, who though are far away in distance, but you always make us feel as close as can be. My very best regards and appreciation.

Actually my experience with Bircham University was more than satisfactory. I benefited so much, and I was able to finish in due time with excellence. Everybody was super co-operative and it felt great. However, I have had a major problem with my certificate that makes me not a good candidate for the testimonials. Here in my country, in order to obtain a license as a psychologist, my certificate needs to be accredited from the association AMIDEAST. This association mentioned that Bircham University is not listed among the universities they give accreditation for. Hence I was not able to get my license and probably never will. However, Bircham University did their utmost to help me with my problem. They gave me other legalizations, and they stamped my certificate from the State Security office and the Egyptian consulate in Spain. But still it didn't work, because as long as the AMIDEAST refuses, nothing will work regarding my license.
That is why my experience and satisfaction is not complete. However I continue to thank Bircham University for their co-operation with me on this issue.

I am always so happy to receive anything from my dear Bircham University, the institution that I had the most wonderful experience with. My testimony: "The excellent service and care I experienced in Bircham University, like attending promptly to emails, understanding my problems, and showing personalized care, truly impressed me. It felt like being there rather than "distance" learning."

Testimony - Bircham International University:
Today, I feel extremely happy and proud to fulfill the first part of my beloved dream by finishing with the Bachelor degree of Psychology in counseling psychology with BIU program. It was a dream that I had in mind and that I cherished for more than 11 years but the family and economic problems had prevented me from it. But, finally with BIU, I completed the first phase of this great struggle by obtaining my bachelor’s degree of psychology in Counseling Psychology, although the final objective remains the Ph.D. in Social Psychology by first having: My bachelor’s degree in counseling psychology & My master’s degree of Social Work

After this first great academic and professional victory which will surely lead me towards the path of progress, I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the whole academic family and team of BIU who really gave me this great opportunity to fill this great academic void. Indeed, it has now come the ideal time to take the other two stages leading me on the path of the second and third phases of my project, which is: My master’s degree of Social Work and my PHD of sociology in social Psychology. Once again, big thanks to the entire BIU faculty and administrative team, among others: William Martin & Diana Simpalean for their unmistakable support. May God keep an eye on BIU as well as the students of this University to emerge from it real models in the scientific field!

May the scientific blessing of BIU professors serve as a guide on my career path as a young professional in Counseling Psychology.
I LOVE YOU SO BIU.

Review - Bircham International University:
The Bircham International University provided me a very enhanced and efficient opportunity of learning while working. I am very grateful to the University for providing me the best online model of self- study and thesis research work opportunities. My entire Ph.D. program leaves no stone unturned in shaping me into a better, competent and efficient Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental professional with stronger solid capacities, capabilities and ardent core knowledge in the field of Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Management and compliance. When I reflect on my almost two years in the University of Bircham International University program, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Professional, but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career advancement for Corporate/Field involvements. Indeed, it was a wonderful experience of learning with prolific exposure to outside the common occupational safety and health management practices. Through the thesis work process with incredibly supportive Supervisor, and other professors who were nothing short of champions, I was challenged to discover the passion and compassion for the core Occupational safety and health hazards prevention and better workplace management I didn’t consider most significance. The Ph.D. program, having been shaped in part by its structured program and exposures, yet rigorous but very  comprehensive, I found myself able to develop, implement, supervise, communicate effectively and efficiently on occupational and environmental hazards at all levels of leadership thereby providing stronger practicable functional and proactive mitigations with cost effective model. In my current role as QHSE Manager, I work directly with the CEO and Board of Directors on Occupational safety and health Management, with the trustees, and with the broader community, and I draw every day on the dispositions I developed during my time of study at Bircham International University. It has been a wonderful time in my life, and the best educational experience I have had. I strongly recommend the Bircham International University program to anyone trying to get out of graduate school successfully. Don’t be like everyone else, make the choice today for better future and placement in the society. Get this program now and start it right away. You won’t regret it.

I have pursued my undergraduate and post graduate degree programs in psychology through the Bircham International University distance learning. Currently I am working on my Ph.D. thesis in counseling psychology after having completed the course work. My supervisor for the thesis is a professor of psychology in a local state university. I am also doing my internship in a reputable counselling organization. The practicum and supervision are standard requirements by the B.I.U academic board. Studying through B.I.U programs is a rewarding experience because as a student I have been at liberty to plan my reading schedules to meet my assignment deadlines and to fulfill the stringent requirements of the B.I.U curriculum. As an adult student I am able to meet my employers obligations at the work place and also create time to be with my family while I study. B.I.U student support is is very efficient, therefore I have enjoyed reliable feedback from my professors on a regular basis. This has ensured that I am abreast with the curriculum and assignments standards of the university. The assignments have been marked on time as stipulated in the B.I.U assignments instructions form. I have noticed that the grades I acquire are commensurate with the quality of the assignment I have forwarded to the professor. My professional degree qualifications from B.I.U place me at a vantage position in my practice, since I am much more informed in my area of specialization, which also makes me more competitive in the job market. I personally feel much more confident knowing that I have achieved such mileage in my life through Bircham International University.

I am a graduate of Bircham International University (BIU) and can proudly provide this testimony to help the university improve its credibility and continue to be a pioneer in providing quality distance learning opportunities to its clients around the world.  While thanking BIU for the wonderful opportunity provided to me to complete my PhD in Urban Planning and Design, I am equally grateful to my family for their generous moral support and to my then employer, United States Agency for International Development, for contributing about 75% of my tuition fee.  Without all these caring supports and the ideal flexibility provided by the BIU's study program, it was not possible for me to achieve my envisioned educational goal.  During my study at BIU, I was living in Kabul–the capital of my beloved country Afghanistan–where PhD level education in engineering was not available, and allocating my substantial time and resources to attend an on-campus program abroad was not affordable either.  Therefore, I feel so lucky that I was able to enroll with BIU and complete my studies while continuing my work and enjoying my life with family at home.  I highly admire BIU’s innovative approach and methodology for it provides the students an opportunity for a quality education that fits every ones unique life style and development goals.  While BIU's degree programs are not accredited by the US CHEA, its curriculum, designed based on the latest developments in psychology and pedagogy, has enabled the university to steadily improve its education quality and meet the highest levels of education quality standards.   As an alternative to traditional education, BIU’s distance learning programs are getting increased recognition day by day in a growing number of countries around the world.  In fact, recent technological developments have made distance learning and on-line education to become state of the art facilities for smart learning and a better choice versus traditional education, especially for working professionals.  I am happy to be a graduate of the BIU and highly recommend this unique distance learning university to any prospective student.

Review - Bircham International University:
As a firm believer in ‘a healthy body needs a healthy brain’ (or the other way around), I have decided, a long time ago to adhere to ‘Life Long Learning’. With an MBA degree in Marketing Communications dating in the mid 90s, I thought (back in 2003) that time had come to get myself tempted by the next logical adventure – a PhD degree in Philosophy. It was certainly not for the sake of a career, or the search of an additional title, what triggered my will and determination. Living on a small island, with no real university background and tradition, I navigated the Internet until I found Bircham International University, with its European headquarters in Madrid, its unique and malleable program approach. Let me first thank Dr. William Martin and his entire team for always being dedicated and willing to help in all imaginable forms and aspects. Flexible tuition, a specifically tailored program, most generous time frames – these are only a few of the most outstanding aspects readily offered by the University. In my own case, as I had decided to write about the 7th Art (Cinema), my special focus had to be readdressed several times (same as the pace with which films become popular and forgotten about). Thus, I felt forced to start all over again, three times in four years, fully assisted and always readily encouraged by Bircham University Madrid. Finally, I not only got my PhD degree, but with a Magna Cum Laude on top. I am especially thankful to my professors, for the trust and honour conferred. I do warmly recommend Bircham International University to everyone willing to and ready for a new learning experience, extremely efficient and offside the traditional paths. I will further deepen my study experience and sincerely hope to be able to give some of it back, within Bircham University, to future students...

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Opinion - Bircham International University:
I am quite happy about my M.S. Plant Science, Molecular Cell Biology program. I am learning so much, and the flexibility of time allows me to delve into my areas of interest. It is nice that as a student, one has time to reflect on the information in the textbooks that Bircham University assigns as the textbooks are quite comprehensive and excellent and are the main ones on the university marketplace in the U.S. I am very happy with my Bircham University M.S. Plant Science/Molecular Biology studies. The program is so flexible--with flexible time to finish a report, that I am able to enjoy the "herculean" tasks of seriously delving into the subject matter that I am interested in learning. Currently, I am currently working on the Glick/Pasternack "Molecular Biotechnology" textbook assigned by Bircham University, and I am able to compare and contrast the material with other leading science textbooks such as those published by Cambridge University Press and similar on the subject so that I can write theoretical case studies on how to tell if an organism is a product of biotechnology. This said to be relatively new area (biotechnology) is also an important area of study to me for many botanical reasons such as plant quality and environmental safety. I am able to accomplish my research goals because of the flexibility of time that offers me the time to also use other quality textbooks, and other recent, leading scientific information. Due to Bircham University's flexibility and progressive learning style, I am able to surpass obstacles and increase my quality of learning in an efficient, productive manner that appeals to my lifestyle. I am learning so incredibly much. The Bircham University learning education system is what one makes out of it, and I find it quite advanced in that one can modify it to one's personal learning goals and time constraints. Now, as I am working on my thesis, I realized that I can also even incorporate important math/physics formula issues of plant science and cell biology. And, this is because of the flexibility of time that allows one to really study. I am just learning more, and more, and more in a very productive way. Thanks again.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Testimony - Bircham International University:
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about my experiences with the education at Bircham University and agree to a publication of this testimony in the Bircham University Human Network. After having worked in the international environment as an German officer for quite a long time I started thinking about a Ph.D. in international relations in 2003. Unfortunately, my university background was very IT heavy. I had studied computer science at the German armed forces university in Munich and passed a Masters of Science in professional computing at the British Stafford University. Due to this fact I had difficulties to find a Ph.D. program in international relations. Fortunately, I found the Bircham University, which took my language skills (German, English, French, Spanish and Arabic) and my experiences in international relations (military operations in Bosnia and Kosovo, German-French Brigade, NATO Headquarters in Belgium) into account. I started the Ph.D. program in 2003 with an comprehensive introduction in international relations, which lay the basis for my further work. After this intensive and interesting "learning phase", during which I was constantly supervised and accompanied by the experts of Bircham University, I started the work on my thesis concerning an "European Army". Thanks to the useful help of my Prof. I finished the work after twelve months and proudly received my degree. Now, five years after my PhD program, I look back and value the effort I put in this "follow-on education". Thanks to the Ph.D. and what I have learned at Bircham University, I was able to develop my professional career. Since 2008 I am one of two German exchange officers at the French Minister of Defence in Paris where I constantly develop my knowledge in international relations. Furthermore, I was accepted by several journals (Europäische Sicherheit, Österreichische Militärzeitschrift ÖMZ) to publish regularly articles about geo-political developments in the Near East. Looking back, I am proud having successfully finished the Bircham University program. Even more important is the fact that the education I got by Bircham University helped myself to change and develop my professional career in a way I always wanted to do. Finally, I would like to encourage everybody to take his destiny in his own hands and to start an education at Bircham University.

I am pleased to share news that I have been appointed to the 'Expert Panel' of the Office of the Inspector of Prisons. Ireland. This is a government level position. The Irish government sought an expert in International Law and human rights to moitnor and assess levels of complaince with human rights laws and International and EU law in the Ireland prison system. I share this with you to say that my Ph.D. with Bircham International University is of great value, but also because it is likely will I produce more publications later which I am happy so share with BIU.

Testimony - Bircham International University:
It gives us confidence for those of us who are graduates of this Institution. This reminds me of the hard work I put in to be able to get my degree. The degree from this institution is credible looking at the work and the time I had to put in. It is practical and yet it is inclusive of the people who are working and do not have time off to go to a formal collage for a long time. The program has been helpful. I have achieved a lot. I am currently a lecturer. I now have 5 publications. I am currently a head of department at the university where I teach. I am proud of Bircham. it has made me what I am.

It is a pleasure for me to write this testimony in behalf of our reverend university BIU which removed the obstacles before me that prevented me to continue my higher education, and paved the way in front of me to achieve my ambitions. Here, first of all I would like to thank very much the administration of the BIU and all the staff working with the university, and especially those who are working in Lebanon office. After earning the Ph.D. degree my professional life has become better in which I became Professor and staff member in the Faculty of Engineering, Misurata University, Libya, also I have been appointed as the Head of the Water and Environment department. These credits give the others indication that how much benefits can they obtain after continuing their education at BIU.

The past year I have been on an incredible journey while undertaking my Ph.D. through the Bircham International University. I could not have completed this journey if it had not been for the support, help and belief that some special people had in my ability to reach my destination. There are no adequate words to convey my appreciation for all of their support. The love and encouragement of these friends kept me going through it all.

 

James Keith Sowell (U.S.A.)

Magna Cum Laude in Astronomy: Graduated - Degree Received (2024)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
2023: Thanks! My career is looking good. People accept my Ph.D. so far. I am getting on a 'lecture circuit" with an organization besides my new position. I personally do not care what the USA educational body thinks. I am tired of hearing that the USA system is the only acceptable system. It is not, and I will stick up for BIU and defend my degree. Anyway, It was nice to finally finish my degree especially as a 100% Service Connected Disabled Veteran who has a lot of challenges. I think this type of education helps disabled people to gain an education that is basically not available in the USA. I am proud to be a BIU graduate. 

2024: I have been recently promoted to the "Astronomers Without Borders-National Coordinator for the United States of America". They recognize my Ph.D. because we are an International organization and we also have a National Coordinator for Spain. I am the Ambassador to other Nations because our HQ is also located in California USA. I will continue to promote the education from BIU for those countries who do not have access to a formal education in Astronomy. 

2024: Who says a graduate from Bircham International University can't get no where! I have just received 2 positions and today I got a scholarship. I've been hired again as an "Adjunct Instructor" for the Northwest Arkansas Community College. They have accepted my Ph.D. and said I could call myself Dr. Sowell, or Dr. Keith if I want to. So, I thank you for the BIU Ph.D. degree as it has become useful to me so far, and I am employed as an Instructor (Professor) at NWACC.

2025: Well, I am finally trained and onboarded as an Adjunct Instructor to teach Space Studies at American Public University (SAPUS) which includes 15 different course credentials for me to teach. I have my first "Introduction to Astronomy with Lab" course this Winter semester. I also continue to serve as an Adjunct Astronomy Instructor at Northwest Arkansas Community College (NWACC). All of them accept my Ph.D. degree from BIU and they allow me to be called DR and use it as my title. I used 3 different evaluation agencies and they all gave equivalent evaluations saying that my degree is validated "but lacks regional accreditation" except for the CUFCE one which gave me full credit. Even though APUS did not accept my credits for teaching Masters upper level courses because of those evaluations, they did agree that I do have a valid Ph.D. degree and added it to my record. So that means I can use Ph.D. and Dr. to my name. Also, recently my Ph.D. was honored for my "Junior Membership" in the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and I serve as a IAU USA Co-National Outreach Coordinator. You cannot be a member of the IAU unless you have a Ph.D.!

Opinion - Bircham International University:
I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies and learning with BIU regarding the topic Sexology. Throughout my Youth, I was not introduced to conversations about Sex, the difficulties, the normalities and the outcome of sex in general. Studying this topic for me, I hope will lead me into an area where I can educate Youth or the Younger generation, not to be embarrassed talking about sex, respecting each other in relation to sex and this knowledge I believe, will generate healthy minds to thoughts and actions for the next generations to come. Learning is continual and will give us all a better understanding to a Healthy Wise Wonderful World of Sexuality and hopefully I can contribute in the future towards that understanding with what I have learnt with BIU. Thank you once again, I have thoroughly enjoyed my reading and research from the Books that were provided by You.

I will never regret my choosing of Bircham University as the beginning of my professional life. Bircham University is a small but great institution, its learning mode based on distance education could be innovative for the ever-changing modern society. I gained a lot from the textbooks selected by Bircham University academic board, and the Bircham University administrative team is also helpful for me, not only in academic way, but in other aspects as well. Bircham University is a faraway place but you could still feel like as your home.

Testimony - Bircham International University:
I've been studying and researching the Bircham International University website now for more than a year. My perception is that the University shows continuous development. I am also glad to see that there are more and more people from my own home country (South Africa) who are studying through Bircham University.
My honest suggestion to all persons who are considering to study through Bircham University is to do a thorough research of the Bircham University website and to compare this with other well-known universities. You would be very surprised to see that Bircham University is actually much more open about its pedagogics, its programmes and its teachers than many other universities that you will encounter on the internet. Being an educationist myself, I hold Bircham University's pedagogical point of departure in very high esteem. My humble opinion is that Bircham International University is definitely the higher educational institution of distance learning for the future. Everything of the best to everyone associated with Bircham University!

I authored in major global conferences and world congress en computing and telecommunications, in countries like USA, Japan, Russia, Canada, South Korea, Africa and Spain. I think I left the university name on a high note, proving that the Bircham Iniversity can also give true scientific researchers.

Minha tese foi sobre o que uma leitura de livros faz em uma mente. As transformações que o ser sofre. O que este instrumento entre Deus e os homens pode fazer na vida de uma pessoa. Quando comecei a ler há cinco atrás tive que parar devido ao doutorado. Sendo o resultado da leitura a minha tese. Diante deste fato recomeço agora a busca de um resultado já sacramentado pelo meu entendimento e que durará enquanto eu viver. Novos frutos nascerão com certeza. Venho aqui, de coração em todo meu entendimento agradecer plenamente a pessoa do Dr. Cesar Martinez – Setor de Educação e essa grande Universidade chamada BIU – Bircham International University. Ambos comigo deram-me um tempo para que eu terminasse o trabalho e agradecer mais uma vez é pouco. E, digo aqui. Levarei o nome de tão conceituada Universidade por onde eu estiver. E, pasmem. Ainda não abri o envelope. Apenas dediquei ao nosso Senhor Jesus e Deus pela conquista e deixarei para abrir no natal em minha casa onde meus familiares estarão presentes e então enviarei as fotos. Meus sinceros agradecimentos.

My experience at Bircham International University was great opportunity to acquire new friends which made my study easy and enjoyable. The study was online and I had a fear that it would be complicated for me to complete.However my fear turned into joy due to the support from the University administration and staff in as far as study guidance, submission of reading materials, marking of course works on time and submission of my marks. Communication with University Authorities through out my study period was extremely effective and impressive. I therefore take this opportunity once again to extend my sincere appreciation to the University Authorities.

Review - Bircham International University:
BIU was one of the Best University’s I’ve ever attended for a variety of reasons. First, they never let the learner feels as if they’re on their own with no one to consult if they got stuck with a subject or a topic related to the textbooks. Second, I always got prompt response from faculty when I had a question or problem with an issue related to the subject matter at hand. And lastly, they have connections to some of the most prominent agencies known to the professions, e.i., SPE, and other engineering organizations to help one develop their full potential with the career choice they have made. Thanks BIU, for everything and I will keep in touch professionally and academically. Good Luck to all students, past, present, and FUTURE!

I will definitely study with BIU again.

Liliana B. Chocarro (Canada)
Doctor of Philosophy in Executive Management: Graduated - Degree Received (2005)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
My experience with Bircham University was positive. As a mature student, while looking for the right educational institution, I had to find one that was serious and at the same time provided the necessary flexibility to work towards my Ph.D. I found those at Bircham. The kind of distance program they offered had the advantage of allowing me certain freedom in choosing the topic. In a way I think this lack of stringency at this point is because of their philosophy to put the responsibility on the student. The lack of supervision by the faculty was another point that was different from any other university, so I had to find guidance from other people outside the university. Lastly, the lack of public defense was another unique feature. The final evaluation was done thoroughly according to the comments received by the evaluation panel. In my case, this was a goal I had and Bircham met my needs, which may not be the same for other students wishing to pursue post-doc careers.

Review - Bircham International University:
2019: I want to express my gratitude to all BIU colleagues from the depth of my heart for their support during my study careers in all arrangements for the graduation, and for on time release of my MSc. Degree. While thanking BIU for the wonderful opportunity provided to me to complete my Master's Degree in Renewable Energies, I am equally grateful to my family for their generous moral support. Without all these caring supports and the ideal flexibility provided by the BIU's study program, it was not possible for me to achieve my educational goal.
As an alternative to traditional education, BIU’s distance learning programs increase recognition. In fact, recent technological developments have made distance learning and on-line education to become smart learning and a better choice versus traditional education, especially for working professionals.  I feel so lucky that I enrolled with BIU and completed my semi-distance studies while continuing my work and enjoying my life with family at home.  
I strongly hope that Afghanistan will be peaceful, and I will be able to benefit from my experience and knowledge of the topic gained during my studies for rehabilitation, education and prosperity of my nation as a member of the global community.
I am happy to be a graduate of the BIU and highly recommend this unique distance learning university to any prospective student.
It is my pleasure to inform that two of my research papers have been accepted and published recently in the International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science under the name of BIU. I also dedicated the papers to BIU. You can access the manuscripts from the links below:

Testimony - Bircham International University:
I've read some negative comments about Bircham University on the internet. But, my personal opinion is that your Bircham University's teaching style and learning method is right for me. My time is limited. I've attended many different colleges and universities. Bircham University allows me to cut out commuting time and allows me to cut out the classroom time. The focus is on reading the book, and that's the best way for me to learn and remember the material. I don't need to commute back and forth to school every day. I don't need to sit in a classroom. I don't need to take classes and study subjects that have nothing to do with my major. Your tuition was a bargain compared to traditional colleges I've attended. I've learned way more from your school than any of the dozen colleges I've attended in the past. In my opinion, Bircham University does everything right, but until your school is accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the United States, I cannot use any diploma that you award. If your way works better than traditional schooling methods, why can't I or other students use it?

Review - Bircham International University:
You know very well what Bircham University did for me! I could never gain further knowledge and learn to research if Bircham University were not this much positive about helping in gaining knowledge, not just degree! It was you who taught me that. I have enough international recognitions and a Dr. title, so why should I seek a PhD if I do not seek knowledge. My eyes were opened and I agreed for all text work required by my PhD. Now I am matured enough to find my way to Harvard or Johns Hopkins. I have two hypotheses of my own from my research and two theory books one of which has already been recommended to be adopted at University of Memphis Library for researchers and clinical students. I am the first Muslim and also eastern person to conduct such a research on death (according to the Editor of the Famous Death Studies journal of Taylor and Francis). All these are rooted to my interactions with Bircham University. There are references behind the statements too. My research thesis and later publication has been adopted by Bangladesh College of Phisicians & Surgeons library. My research was also endorsed by the Royal College of Psychiatrist at London and the Department of Psychology of the University of Memphis (USA). These are the comments from Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Department of Psychology of the University of Memphis about my Research Thesis and later publication. “I am pleased to inform you that in my role as a Professor of Psychology at the University of Memphis, I have recommended the recent book by Dr. Mohammad Samir Hossain, Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychiatry of your medical college, entitled Quest for a New Death: Death and Adjustment Hypotheses, for adoption by our university library.”

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Testimony - Bircham International University:
Alhamdulillah: All praise is due to Allah alone.

I finally had the honor of attending in a special graduation occasion held in the city of Miami, USA. This ceremony, which had been part of my dreams for most of my life, was to celebrate the completion of my Master’s degree in Political and International Relations from Bircham International University.

Of course, it was not easy for me to accomplish such a Master’s degree in light of so many obstacles that coincided with the period of my study. First and foremost, I was a father carrying family responsibilities. I was also part of an opposition party during a prolonged election season with countless meetings and campaigning. At the same time, I was relocating my family back to the country, and my great father had fallen ill.
Yet, I never gave up on this dream, and today I have harvested its fruits.

Personally, I have been directly or indirectly involved in politics for the most part of my professional life, commencing as a political reporter almost a decade ago. With that in mind, I can say without a hesitation that I feel very blessed to take on this opportunity of getting solid understanding of theories and extended knowledge in politics in line with my existing practical experience in this field. Truely, that will greatly shape the way I see myself into politics back home.

On this great occasion, I would like to thank my dear wife, Xamda Abdirahman Mohamoud, who stood by my side throughout these demanding times of political crises and long sleepless nights mostly spent on desk for my studies. Surely that consumed much of my time, and I owe it to her perseverance and patience that I finally reached this milestone today.
Second, I am also grateful and indebted to the President of the Republic of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Cirro), who encouraged me during those hard times to continue completing my studies.
My gratitude also goes to the Minister of the Presidency, the Chief of Staff, the Presidential Spokesperson, and all the various leaders at the Presidency of Somaliland.

I also thank all my friends, especially my great friend, businessman Abdirashid Dahabshiil, and the dear companions I couldn't name here, who helped me in every way possible on this fruitful path.
To all the people of Somaliland, I send my warmest greetings, and I conclude with these sayings from Sirta Nolosha in Somali:

"Qalinkaa wax suureeya,
Kugu sima halkaad doonto,
Saaxiib kal furan weeye,
Sunto fara ku hayntiisa,
Weligaa ha sii deynnin." - Sirta Nolosha:

That way I complete my Ph.D. in Chemistry.Thanks to my graduate diploma could find a job opportunity with the Universidad Tecnologica de Honduras as Professor of Industrial Chemistry class. Where I've been working since more than 5 years. I am pleased to recommend Bircham International University as the best option to continue graduate studies.

Review - Bircham International University:
La Bircham University - con 20 años en el mercado - es una universidad globalizada y de aprendizaje a la distancia y eso es un de sus problemas antes los gobiernos. Es una excelente universidad legalizada pero es una universidad alternativa, no formal y con dificultad de reconocimientos goubernamentales debido a las universidades formales y sus lobbies que impiden su reconocimiento junto a los ministerios. Uno de mis cursos ha sido obtenido en la Bircham hace 10 años y no tuve problema en el mercado laboral. Hoy soy profesor en una universidad en Brasil, investigador en Alemania y presidente de una empresa científica en América. Es el curriculum total del alumno que debe ser tenido en cuenta. Es lo que hago en my empresa. El mundo esta cambiando y muchas otras universidades alternativas como Bircham están llegando al mercado. Y atención: muchas universidades reconocidas son de baja calidad.

 

Nicole Patrice Johnson-Smith (U.S.A.)
Doctor of Philosophy in English Language Teaching: Graduated - Degree Received (2009)

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Review - Bircham International University:
Many colleagues ask me where I got my doctorate and how long it took, as well as the costs. While I began in 2000 with the program, I chose Bircham because at that time, I was interested in teaching in the United States as well as overseas. I was also interested in doing research in education and language development. Bircham's program was perfect for what I wanted to do.  Then, life happened...I was married and had children, and my education was no longer the priority, so it took much longer than I wanted it to.  However, my choice in Bircham for my Ph.D was the best thing because the flexibility it offered allowed me to take my time while finishing my doctorate. Even when I thought I was not going to finish, the staff at Bircham continued to encourage me and remain patient while they understood life's interruptions, and it made me more determinied to be finished. Best of all, the staff always offered help, suggestions, encouragement, and just kept me in the loop with information on program changes and anything else going on at Bircham. When I finally finished the program, I was touched to find that I still receive emails remembering my birthday, emailed newsletters with updates on Bircham, and I was very happy to know that the people I consulted with were still there to communicate with me when I had questions. Thank you, Bircham -- you made my doctorate attainable and helped me every step of the way!

I also wish to express my gratitude to late Professor Pentti Kouri for many stimulating and useful discussions which inspired me to combine science and art to abstract new ideas. Professor Pentti Kouri equally thought me how to apply wide perspective to any given question or problem.
I wish to thank Dr. Vesa Viitaniemi for encouraging me to pursue theoretical sensor computing as the major field of my doctorate thesis.
I wish to thank my colleagues over the years for dynamic conversations, great insights, and rewarding challenges. I also wish to express my thanks to people of the Institute auf dem Rosenberg and University of Amsterdam for getting me interested in computers and encouraging me to pursue technology as field of my research and work.

Review - Bircham International University:
2012: I have the pleasure to inform you that Bircham University helped me to open a door which would have continued to be close to me forever. Indeed, in Rwanda, nobody is entitled to teach at any university as a lecturer he/she does not have at least a Master’s Degree. I was dreaming to be a university teacher but I was not seeing how as wherever I was trying to get a scholarship I was failing and the end, I also feared to loose my job by going outside my country to get the degree. Fortunately, I got Bircham University address. In almost two years, I got a Master’s Degree in Strategic Marketing. Without any delay, I have put my degree in front of universities and one of them allowed me to teach many subjects among them Marketing. I have reached my dream!!!! Thanks Bircham University. May God bless your founder forever!!!!

2017: I am ready to say to anyone who may contact me that at BIU I have not only studied books but life. The teaching methodology of BIU is the one needed in this World where practice is better than theory. Prescribed books, examination system permit the leaner to finalize his/her program mastering the subject despite that he/she a distance learning program. At BIU, a student reads theory, he/she is given well selected examples where that theory was applied and its results and he/she can see him/herself how to use that. What else can anyone expect from an education program?
Long life to BIU!!!!

I would like to thank the Administration of Bircham International University first and far most for having granted to me partial scholarship as they understood the situation of our country South Sudan that has been in wars from 1955 until we got our independent from the North in 201, July.9. Unfortunately, another conflict has befallen us due to poor system of governance. Nevertheless, BIU degree program has widen my knowledge on the common characteristics of economic growth theory & development practice across the globe, and provision of social service/work in an environment of shifting responsibilities and paradigm through development policies and practice. It has exposed me to know more about the varying applications of theories and practices on development around the world,which made me able to comprehend and articulate both social and development issues in candide and professional perspective. Generally, the knowledge i have acquired made all round leader in development aspects,and has raised the level of my understanding in all aspects of life and has improved my performance in public Office and discussions in social arena; if not because of financial constraints caused by the armed conflict in our beloved Country South Sudan, i would wish to pursue my MA degree on international Development or Sociology in order to enhance my profession /expertise to become resourceful internationally.

Opinion - Bircham International University:
Excellent personalized University! That is my experience with Bircham International University during these three years of learning. BIU responded to my every need thus helping me to deepen my knowledge of transpersonal counseling psychology. I was a working student, stationed in Rome and I could study from my room, connecting online and being helped by so many generous experts in this field of learning. Thanks to my self-disciple, I complete my work within three years. However, without the help the director and all the staff of BIU who were ready to respond to every question I asked, I would not have made it. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of them. In the special way, I want to express my gratitude to my advisory team who helped me to complete my dissertation. Dr. Douglas MacDonald, one of the prominent contributor in the field of transpersonal psychology, Dr. Joy Tungol and Dr. David Reid. I also want to take this opportunity to thank all the professors and writers from whom I learned a lot and with some of whom I was able to be in personal contact: Dr. Jorge Ferrer in transpersonal psychology, Dr. Jeannette Gagan, licensed psychologist who bridges the gap between psychology and spirituality, Dr. Christina Puchalski who contributes a lot to integrating spirituality into health care, and Lenore Norgard, certified shamanic counselor who shared her experience of transforming the globe with shaman rituals and dancing. Thank you to all of you and to the many persons who facilitated my own transpersonal experience while deepening my knowledge in transpersonal psychology in Bircham University.
I want to inform about the publication of my paper in a Scientific Journal. Here is the link:

At 72 years old, I thought my educational days were far behind me. Thanks to Bircham International University, I found that this wasn’t so, and I can now cross off a Ph.D. from my personal bucket list. As a prolific writer, I found that Bircham was one of the few places that would accept my published writing as credit toward a PhD in Creative Writing, without having to spend $40,000 and an additional several years of work. At my age, time is a definite consideration. The staff have been a pleasure to work with, and the scholarship offered by Bircham was also a plus. If you are thinking about a PhD, or Doctoral certificate, consider Bircham International University.

Review - Bircham International University:
Having been motivated and inspired by the testimonies I read written by the previous students of BIU, I thought of also contributing one. I would simply say that the studies I have done with BIU have improved me a lot in the way I work and study. From the beginning, I just thought of obtaining only a professional certificate from this university. Later, when I came to discover that BIU has got one of the best methodologies of teaching the students and that the institution do provide options for a better diploma recognition, I thought of doing specialist diploma, later again I applied for masters, now I am a Doctor PhD graduate of Public Policy and Administration with the same University. I have really come to like very much the quality of education offered by BIU; selection of books for their students (plus free support books), and the emphasis on analytical and critical thinking have greatly improved in me the manner of reading. Not only that but also the support I got from all the staff members at the institution is superb. They are indeed, student centered – always put interests of their students first, to make sure that a student gets what he/she is looking for. With my busy schedule, I wouldn’t have managed on campus learning. BIU allows you to complete the studies at your own pace. Fees are as well affordable and with good payment plans. Apart from the knowledge I have obtained from this University, I am now also a member of International Public Policy Association, one of the associations recommended by BIU a student can join. By joining this association, I see that I will have chance to continue learning more and also have an opportunity to share with others the knowledge imparted in me. I shall really always be proud of this University. Thumb up BIU!

I would like to update my record information, regarding my Ph.D. thesis at Bircham University "Biofilm formation in Food Industry". I tired to get some sponsors to support my project. The AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT RESEARCH CENTER asked me to send the abstract of my thesis and asked for some information about the university I am studying with (Bircham University), after one week the head of research from the AUB Dr. Prof. Marwan Saban called and asked for a meeting to elaborate my abstract, on the next day we met at the AUB where he introduced me to his staff. They are willing to support my thesis and research, they will be providing a fully equipped lab and 5 of their best microbiology students to assist me.

Bircham University and my life experience. The first idea that came to my mind was the nice people I met during the period of my studies. First, beginning with Dr. Antoine, director of Bircham University Middle East and his very nice behavior with me. Also Dr. William Martin, Bircham University International Coordinator, who gave big interest to my personal problems and demands. Their fast replies when mailed concerning any of my educational needs... Dr William helped me first by giving me hope to my capabilities in accomplishing a degree, and by indenturing me through its average cost for higher education, in order to accomplish my own self estimation, and allowing me to continue what I always sought in myself. Bircham University also allowed me to perform my teaching methodology in more than one University in Lebanon, and specially the most known. I was always accepted for my professionalism, and my method of teaching that impressed all my students and the staff members. I haves been appointed teacher of Fine Arts for some years at the University Saint-Esprit de Kaslik - USEK, recognized by the Ministry of Education in Lebanon. So, to me, doing what I did with Bircham University was the biggest accomplishment in my life and I really thank you for that.

Obtaining a Master degree is a milestone. Many people dream about, and expect to achieve it. Because for the long time, “education” is more a synonym for success, we could pretty much count on a career. A diploma is not a piece of paper. It is an amulet of progress and prosperity nowadays. So in general I can say universities the most reliable engine of social mobility.
Bircham International University is one of top ten distance learning university for adult in the world true its international standards and criterions, and have too much facilities in all issue especially in admission process, providing books, financial payment, purpose the experiences of students, legalization of diploma for graduate students.
The books, which is provide the BIU for Students, are very update books including very useful information and new theories, event and stories, which is going on in the world, from famous authors. In my field of study, learning of these books gave me very useful knowledge of international relation which is need for each politician and practitioners. In these books all the international threads describe very well and clearly according the facts. All books are including brilliant topics as globalization, trade, terrorism, conflict, development, human rights and etc. which are really interesting for reading and learning. Also these books are the most venerable and persisting source of learning realistic theories in each event of international relations, it provides a good starting point and baseline for comparison with competing models.
Bircham International University have very elegant and perfect guidelines and criteria indicated Study Guide and required clear information for all stage of study.
Study master of Art in international Relation with BIU was a great experience and a big opportunity for me. As I was in close condition of working time and handling the family, so I couldn't go to class everyday, but enrolling with BIU help me to carry out Simultaneous, three issue very nicely, and it was a great achievement for me and for my family. Thank you BIU.

I am a United Nations staff member from Afghanistan. I joined Bircham International University (BIU) in October 2010 and completed my Master Program in Executive Management. For its excellent educational principles, flexible curriculum and overall quality education, I pursued and completed my Ph.D. in International Relations from BIU as well. I am pleased that I went for it, as it has helped me to advance my knowledge, skills and experience. I would like to add that the information and studying materials provided by BIU have always been up-to-date and comprehensive. Correspondence with BIU was always timely and encouraging. The teaching methods were highly professional and met my requirements as a full-time employee. Both programs I completed with BIU were of highest quality. I would describe BIU as a comprehensive and encouraging opportunity for higher education, notably for employed professionals and those with prior work experience in the relevant fields. My study with BIU has not only helped me to maintain my existing work as an international civil servant but most importantly enabled me to deliver better to the United Nations and effectively contribute to the development of my people and my homeland. Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity and express my sincere appreciation to BIU leadership and its staff for their excellent assistance.

I thank Bircham University from the heart for enabling me to study as well as continuing my job. Following my enrollment at Bircham University in 2007 I have not only developed my career from a middle officer to an executive manager but have also improved the institution as a whole. As I went through each study material received from Bircham University I found it more and more useful and enjoyed reading and implementing it. For instance, before my enrollment at Bircham University I had no idea of Professional Certification of PHR (Professional in Human Resources) and SPHR (Senior Professional in HR), GPHR (Global Professional in HR), CCP, CBP, CPT Etc. Similarly through Bircham University I came to know about some important institutions and organizations such as Human Resources Certification Institution (HRCI), International Personnel Management Association (IPMA), American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) and Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). So far I have practiced and assumed HR as an Operational function of an organization, however through the guidance from Bircham University, I understood that HR is now being emerged as a Strategic Approach and organizations’ success is accomplished by developing HR strategies. The improvements and achievements i have made, have been recognized by the institutions I'm involved and thus several of my colleagues have become the members of Bircham University, who are equally benefiting from it. Thank you Bircham International University.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Testimony - Bircham International University:
First and foremost, I would like to thank Bircham International University for this great opportunity to cancel my debt. In the past few years, I have gone through a series of hardship due to unemployment and financial constraints. I lost my job at Halliburton in Angola due to the downturn in oil and gas prices in the international markets; the company had to go through organizational changes to adapt to the present current scenario. Unfortunately, as a result of the crisis, the company retrenched. Hence, the motive for my inability to keep my university fees up to date.
One aspect that fascinates me about studying at BIU is the fact that it compels students to enrich their critical thinking by challenging them to come up with their solutions to problems presented in the academic assignments. The course resources are in-depth, and although some assignments are challenging, they are not overly difficult. Thanks to the dedicated team at BIU, notably Mrs. Irene Fernandez and Diana Simpalean for their kindness and support, which I hold in high regard. Moreover, one of the most generous fee structures in the academic world. Having completed the Bachelor of Science in Geology at BIU has given me not only the opportunity to have a decent career prospect but fulfillment in life. I am eternally grateful.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Opinion - Bircham International University:
One's opinion of life can be expressed as challenging, irresistible, exciting and or in some cases, unfair and difficult. The perception of life, on the other hand, can be characterized by one's own perspective and attitude toward life and steps taken.  No matter how challenging it may seems, it is actually our own ability to overcome the impediments such as fear, instability and lack of confidence. For me, however, overcoming those obstacles have been the force behind my alluring ambitions and goals.  There is no perfect solution as there are no perfect us. But, there is always hope and imagination, which without, there is no advancement nor progress. And, most importantly, there is belief, believing in ourselves. Having said all that, one of the most contributing factors behind  success is  the power of support and attributes one can endure from all kinds of sources. And, that is why I am proud to say that in addition to my family, Bircham University did just that by giving me the opportunity to advance my knowledge, empower my abilities, elevating my self confidence and moral behavior as well as giving me the chance of lifetime achievement in leadership for which I am who I am today and I am what I do and contribute to my society. That is the kind of support that Bircham International University is proudly capable of gifting and providing.

My transition into the Master’s program in linguistics at BIU was a life changing- experience. I joined this program with great enthusiasm as a distance learner. I am glad to say that all expectations were met and even exceeded. The flexibility in the distance learning model was important in balancing studies with personal commitments. However, this flexibility was not at the expense of academic rigor. The architectural set up and support were such that from the very outset, I felt I was not alone in the journey. Each module from the theoretical foundational aspects to the practical application, was so effectively set out as to permit me to delve deeply into the material irrespective of physical distance. Their guidance has been instrumental in not only my academic growth but also in instilling confidence as a researcher. This involvement indeed prepares one to have both expertise and resilience to deal with the complex world of linguistics with clarity and a sense of purpose. My experience with BIU has been enriching to the extent that it better equips me, both in knowledge and confidence.. I truly value the fact that assistance was always there, and the quality of education, which formed an indispensable basis of my road to graduation. Studying with BIU has inspired me to continue my academic journey here and look forward to pursuing a PhD with BIU in the near future...

My program at the BIU was a major landmark in my career development. The flexibility of the program ensured that I was able to manage caring for my family, attend to other Trainee-Programs and also work on my academic thesis reports. I am also pleased and thankful to the open access nature of the university as I recall being invited to personally meet with Professor William Martin during one of his visits to Cairo, Egypt. My academic tutor Ms. Diana Simpalean was of great assistance to me through the entire study program given the constant updates and information regarding aspects of the university, especially my study program. The curriculum and reference books were of particular value as they helped me develop the intellectual strength that deepened my understanding of Language Sciences and hold conversations with authorities in the field of Linguistics. In fact, due to the depth of knowledge afforded to me by the curriculum at BIU, I was granted opportunity to attend and be part of a discussion with two of the world renowned Linguists; professors Noam Chomsky's and Stephen Krashen's personally delivered online session on their Linguistics treatise. I look forward to taking up more advanced courses with BIU as I walk my career path.

There is no word for me to express my imeasurable idea to thank BIU. BIU not changed my mind but rather transform the way I think. I really understood and tell to everybody BIU's saying "we do not teach what to think but how to think". It is great. I practicaly developed the foundamental and basic idea and concept of "critical thinking" which I found that it is very important in academic and also in all professional areas. This was what I missed though, I worked and took so, so many different types of trainings and led very large civil engineering projects and completed in a successful manner as project engineer for long time. Actually, for me it is beyond earning official degree! Thousand pages is not enough to complete my flow of idea about this topic. Really no power of word to Express!!!

I got this helpful input from the UN: We would like to first clarify that HR practitioners and hiring managers validate the candidates' university degrees against the United Nations Secretariat standards, regardless of where in the world the qualification was obtained. Of course, the fact that your degree may not be listed will not prejudice your application, it simply means that it was not included in UNESCO's and IAU's database and HR practitioners will conduct further checks during the background verification stage.

My Ph.D. program has been paid around USD 9,286, so the payback period of my investment is 3 years, the shortest period for a huge investment like this. These benefits could be even more than if we consider the economic benefits gained from my status as PhD holder. In conclusion, none could fear investing in education and in BIU particularly, as BIU programs are good or market oriented and given in good conditions where everyone make a self-organization.

My efforts and ambition in search of new knowledge has been adequately answered and this has opened new horizon in my career and life, and I can now work competently any where in the world and make a well valued contribution in human endeavors. However,above all I thank almighty GOD for the good health and the wisdom to chose Bircham University because of its flexibility and rich curriculum which rides on the strength of simplicity. As I returned from my graduation in Madrid in June 2010, a huge celebration was lined up for me by professionals colleagues and friends here in Kenya. Long Live Bircham University.

I am happy to be among those who chose this path as the knowledge acquired at BIU is all time applicable and appropriate. I retired from my previous employment, and because of the flexible e-learning programs offered by BIU,  I studied PhD and Msc in Business Administration through e-learning and I am currently teaching on part-time at one of the premier universities.

Graduates' Testimony, Opinion & Review
Testimony - Bircham International University:
I greatly recommend anyone to register for a natural philosophy qualification with Bircham International University. This is coming about as a result of my experience with this University. I am appreciative of the generous donor bursary that I received from Bircham International University. To me doing a PhD in Astronomy at Bircham International University was a godsend. I did not have the money to do a science PhD in a conventional University setting. I knew that my contribution to the study of nature, in such an expansive field as Astronomy was going to be in pulsars/neutron stars, the early Universe or the Sun. The literature and communal support led me to writing about the Sun and Solar Physics that is, its plasma evolution and the Solar system topography. Virtually all the hitches I met were resolved by the University in a timely manner. My interests in natural history, the sciences and the ascendancy of science and technology were greatly heightened by this opportunity that BIU afforded me.

 

Bircham International Universityは、単に入学するだけではなく、多様な遠隔教育学位プログラムを修了し、卒業して目標を達成することが重要だと考えています。
