Certificates
Information on how you will receive your degree certificate, including how to arrange postage or a courier service.
Attending graduation
If you attend your ceremony you will get your certificate on the day.
Not attending graduation
If you are not attending graduation you need to register your intention to graduate in absentia. Doing so not only gives you the opportunity to confirm your personal details (such as your name) but also to provide an address for us to post your certificate to following the ceremonies (if you don't complete this process, we are unable to issue your certificate).
**Please note: It is not possible for someone to collect your certificate on your behalf at the graduation ceremony.**
Postage of certificates
Certificates to the UK
The UK postal service is very reliable and certificates sent to addresses within the United Kingdom are sent by second class mail as standard. However, should you wish to have the peace of mind of having your certificate sent by a tracked service, we can send it using Royal Mail Special Delivery.
The deadline for purchasing this delivery method will be confirmed.
Certificates to overseas addresses
Unfortunately, Royal Mail is unable to provide a tracking service for most overseas countries so we cannot send certificates using their International Track and Sign service. Certificates are therefore sent by standard airmail.
However, if you would like to have your certificate sent to you using the DHL Express Worldwide service, rather than standard airmail, we are happy to arrange this for you. The cost for this service is dependent on the destination country and is available to more than 220 countries worldwide.
The deadline for purchasing this delivery method will be confirmed.

Certificates lost in transit
Although the vast majority of certificates are received with no problems, some countries have less reliable postal services and, of course, occasionally some items will get 'lost'. In order to guarantee the delivery of your certificate, we would strongly advise you to use one of the guaranteed methods above. Should your certificate not arrive using these methods, we would re-print your certificate and send it again using the same method, free of charge. However, should you choose a standard service for delivery, you will need to order a replacement certificate (for which the usual fee will be charged) from Student Services should your original become lost in the mail.
