Professional or Statutory Body Accreditation and Exemption

For a number of the University’s courses, the conferral of an award provides (or gives the student the right to apply for) professional accreditation, membership of a professional body, or exemption from some or all requirements of a professional qualification.

The lists here, one for undergraduate awards and one for postgraduate awards, are indicative only, as accreditation and exemption arrangements are subject to change.

Since the content of University courses and the requirements of professional bodies may vary over time, entitlement may be dependent upon the year of award,

For confirmation of current arrangements, please check directly with the professional body. Faculty / School / Department titles are current and are provided to enable enquiries within the University.

Issuing your Certificate and Transcript

Your award certificate and transcript will be automatically posted to you upon formal confirmation your award. Provisional awards are not confirmed decisions and therefore your award certificate and transcript cannot be issued until your award has been formally conferred.

Your award certificate and transcript will be sent to your registered home address on your student record, for this reason it is very important that you keep your home address up-to-date otherwise your certificate and transcript (and other important University correspondence) may not reach you. To check or edit your home address please log onto Evision in the normal manner, if you no longer have evision access please contact your former Undergraduate/Postgraduate Office.

Your certificate and transcript are sent by recorded post and will require a signature upon delivery. If no-one is available to sign for the certificate, you will receive a postcard requesting that you collect the certificate at your local sorting office. If the certificate is not collected within one week, it will normally be returned to the university (N.B. this may differ for deliveries outside the U.K.)

Please remember that your documents are normally posted 6 weeks after the conferral of your award by the Universitys Awards Board (normally in March, July and October). The University cannot release your certificate and transcript if you are suspended from University for Financial or Academic reasons or any debts or items on loan from the University's Libraries.

If you require proof of your qualification for a potential employer then your Undergraduate/Postgraduate Office can supply a 'Award Confirmation / Post Study Work Visa' letter confirming your course and degree classification. This letter is generally accepted by potential employers in place of the actual certificate or transcript, please click here to submit a request.

Your initail transcript issued by the University which accompanies your certificate is issued for free, however, you may normally be able to obtain a copy of your transcript at any point via your Undergraduate/Postgraduate Office at a cost of £12 for the first copy and £2 for each additional copy.

PLEASE NOTE
Award certificates are not be issued at your award ceremony.
