Name the award precisely
Ask what appears on the diploma, who awards it, and whether a school certificate accompanies a university degree. A partnership logo does not answer those questions.
Ask the receiving authority
For further study, the receiving university decides admission. For a regulated profession, consult the relevant authority in the destination country. An employer’s acceptance is a different decision again.
Keep the evidence
Save the programme specification, transcript framework and current accreditation information. A recognition check should be repeated if the award or partnership changes before you enrol.

Use the school profiles for linked programme and fee evidence. The comparison table keeps unknowns visible so you can ask for the information that is still missing.
