Second: Look at the teaching facilities and teaching venues. General universities have classrooms, administrative buildings, libraries, computer rooms, playgrounds and so on. However, the hardware of "diploma workshop" is extremely limited. Some simply rent a house in the business building, and some libraries that display pictures are very small, with only more than 1000 books and only one or two computer rooms. You can tell at a glance that it is "paste".
Third, the major of "diploma workshop" is very narrow, and all the hot topics in the market are basically provided.
Fourth, teachers' resources depend on foreign aid. It is not difficult to find that the teacher-student ratio in some schools is very small, and some even have only 1: 40. The source of teachers in schools is mainly the "walking holes" of teachers in public schools. Students must think twice before meeting such a school.
Fifth, intermediary publicity is very commercialized, even using the marketing method of "practice booth". The so-called consultants often say, "Everything is fine in this school; Ensure that you can immigrate; Easy to read "and other languages to encourage students.
Sixth, the enrollment standards are "erratic". When posting was announced, the requirements of the school were obviously very high, but the average score of students was barely 60, and IELTS was less than 5.0. But the agent readily promised that there was no problem, and they would definitely get in.
Seventh: In order to earn more tuition fees, diploma mill will not consider students' learning background and specific conditions at all, but maliciously arrange many courses. Once upon a time, students were arranged language courses, certificate courses, diploma courses and academic courses in succession, and they were arranged to enter formal courses only after paying high tuition fees. Remind students to be careful when you find that the school you want to go to has both language courses and undergraduate courses. Generally speaking, regular universities only have undergraduate and master's courses. In China, formal institutions of higher education must be filed by the Ministry of Education. Students can check the list of schools in official website, Ministry of Education.

According to the Ministry of Education, the state will not recognize students' school status and graduation certificates issued by illegal enrollment units.
