Graduation certificate update

 Your degree certificate won’t be handed to you at graduation. Instead, this will be posted and emailed to you. To ensure we can send this out to you as soon as possible, we need some information from you to allow us to deliver your digital degree certificate and physical copy.

To be awarded your research degree, you need to have met the conditions as detailed on the Thesis and Submission pages of the For Students website. You will then be added to the pass list for approval by the Progression and Examinations Group. After your name has appeared on the pass list you will receive a GRAD notification requesting your up to date contact information in order that we can provide you with both and digital and physical copy of your degree certificate.

Once you have provided us with your up to date contact information, we will aim to provide the digital and physical copies of your certificate within 4 weeks.
