I understand that students with certain degrees from non UK universities have generally been more successful re Telecomms exemptions than those from the UK. This of course could well be because the degree contents are more aligned to the syllabus (though we pull the leg of a certain individual re being able to pull the wool over the IRSE's eyes by his "dodgy foreign degree"- taken in good heart I hasten to add).
What would be interesting is if someone from say an Eastern European university (with a technically / vocationally based form of degree that seems to be popular there) applied for an exemption re module 3 or 5. "Railway specific" type degree courses seem more common abroad than here and indeed one could argue that Control System Engineering encompasses Signal Engineering. Personally I don't think that such an exemption would be something that I'd be comfortable with, but I might have difficulty in arguing exactly why I take that view.
