It has been suggested that this article be merged into Warnborough College. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2007.

Warnborough University, previously called Warnborough College, has main offices located in Canterbury, England. Warnborough University is a company incorporated in Ireland, but has no authority to issue UK, Irish or any other jurisdiction's degrees. Warnborough University (Ireland) changed its name to Warnborough College (Ireland) in 2006.

Controversy

In October 2000 the Chronicle of Higher Education noted that an author of a volume on unaccredited universities questioned the status of Warnborough, while also quoting an explanation of the situation by a school official.

On November 26, 2000 the British Broadcasting Corporation aired a news report on fake degrees, diploma mills, and other educational concerns. It included a mention of Warnborough University

According to Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization, Warnborough University and Warnborough College is "not an Irish degree-granter. Not a UK degree-granter. Appearance on UK registry of training providers does not confer or represent authorization to issue degrees." The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board lists Warnborough's degrees as "illegal to use in Texas" notes that the school has operated from Canyon, Texas and "also has operated in Washington, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Washington, DC." Also, the Texas board notes that Warnborough "claims to be a consortium of institutions with authority derived from those institutions, though the member institutions have no degree authority and claim theirs from Warnborough."
