Are college degrees generally accepted by employers if they are verified and awarded by a recognised university?

Yeah me too, was just wondering about this as recently I’ve been seeing more and more companies looking for graduates from good universities. I’m not looking for a flashy job or anything, just something near where I live.

If its anything like the College I work at a college will franchise its HE courses from a University effectively meaning they seek approval from the university to deliver a programme the university is already running. Its not really that different to a college getting approval for running an National Diploma or an NVQ from Edexcel/City & Guilds, the College is just responsible to the University instead of an awarding body for quality control. So providing the University has a decent reputation it shouldn't matter.
