Does my MDes in Industrial Product Design qualify as a Masters qualification?

[naddysalim]

Hello all!

I hope you can help me.

My highest form of qualification is from Coventry University, UK in Industrial Product Design (MDes Industrial Product Design). I only got 1 degree, which was a 4 year course (I had the option to opt out and get the bachelors in my 3rd year).

Now, when I try to punch it into the WES system, it's not there on the list, and brings it down to a 4 year bachelor degree. Everywhere that I do a
search online it says it qualifies as a masters degree:

A Master of Design (MDes, M.Des. or M.Design) is a postgraduate academic master degree in the field of Design awarded by several academic institutions around the world. The degree level has different equivalencies; some MDes are equivalent to Master of Fine Arts and others to a Master of Arts or Master of Science postgraduate degree in alternative disciplines. It often follows a Bachelor of Design degree and requires around two years of study & research in design. (Wikipedia)

Just wanted to know if anyone out there knew about this or was in the same situation as I'm in?

Thanks!

Naddy

When you create your profile in WES and enter education details, it does show Master of Design in 'Name of Diploma/Certificate*' field.
