I read that most jobs (and the immigration requirments) ask for at least a 3 year degree.

I did a HND years ago, which earned me study credits for later, so when I did a degree I was allowed straight into year 2 . Do you think this will cause a problem anywhere, as its seems to an onlooker that my degree is only 2 years duration....will they understand about the 'credit' system in Japan?
Will anyone ask anyway?

I hope not, as otherwise wouldn't such a system exclude all part-time degree holders?

I would be grateful for any opinions or similar experiences.
Thanks

If it says BSc, BA, BEng, etc, you're safe. If its from Britain and says BS, they might think its a fake.
