Need to graduate early?

There are some circumstances where students may want to have their award conferred earlier, meaning that they would graduate in absentia in March or October and receive their certificate through the post.

Eligibility

To be eligible you must: 

• have completed your studies 
• had your award approved by the exam board, or examined and completed in the case of postgraduate researchers 
• have cleared any debts 

If you choose to do this, you will not be eligible to attend a ceremony in person. 

How to apply

To apply to graduate via an Inter-ceremony graduation, you need to have completed the application form by 22 September.

If your application is successful, your certificate and diploma supplement will be posted out after the conferral date, which is 15 October.

You will receive an email by 13 October to confirm whether your application has been successful.
