Hello!

My boyfriend and I are from Scotland and are looking to teach in Vietnam in the next few years. We will both do TEFL however would my boyfriend struggle to get a job in a school/or a visa if he only has a three year general degree in Engineering? I have a 4 year Bachelors degree in primary education so I should be ok.

Thank you in advance!!

Three or four years doesn't matter.

Tell us what the name of his degree is for a better answer.

I am not Scottish so I googled and found the University of Edinburgh website. It says one can graduate in three years with a BSc in engineering. BSc is fine. Engineering is terrific IMHO.
