Certificates

When you complete your studies at the university and have received your final marks, you will graduate and receive your degree certificate. The university awards degree certificates twice a year, at our graduation ceremonies which are held in July and December. You will receive your certificate as soon as you are eligible, either at a graduation ceremony if you attend in person, or by post afterwards.

What will I receive?

An electronic degree certificate, sent by email
A hard copy degree certificate

How do I receive my documents?

We will send your electronic documents to your personal email address and post your hard copy documents to your home address using Royal Mail tracked, unless you tell us you’d like to do something different. Please note, this service is not available for PO Box addresses, but alternative options are available (see below).
