Certificates

When you complete your studies at the university and have received your final marks, you will graduate and receive your degree certificate. This will either be in person if you attend your graduation ceremony, or through the post if you decide not to attend. You will not receive your award and certificate if you decide to defer your graduation.

What will I receive?

  • A hard copy of your degree certificate (this does not include a transcript of your marks)
  • An electronic degree certificate and transcript of your marks

When and how will I receive my documents?
