Certificates

When you complete your studies at the university and have received your final marks, you will then be able to graduate and receive your certificate. The university confers degree certificates twice a year, at our graduation ceremonies, so you will receive yours as soon as you are eligible either at or following your ceremony.

What will I receive?

  • An electronic degree certificate, sent by email
  • A hard copy degree certificate and a transcript of your marks

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. See below for alternative options.

Please note: The university closes for winter vacation on Friday 20 December, so hard-copy documents will be posted in early January 2025.
