Graduation and beyond

The robes, the ceremony, the degree certificate, the event, and academic references

Graduation is the culmination of your academic effort at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ - as circumstances allow, we celebrate your success and encourage you to make a day of it.

If you need to provide, say, a potential employer evidence that you studied at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, an academic reference is the document that you need.

We have a dedicated Graduation site where you can find out about ceremony dates, booking, guest tickets, robes, hospitality, and much more.

If you require an academic reference from a particular tutor or for a particular piece of completed work, please contact the School in which you studied with. If you are not sure which school to contact, please contact Student Records & Operations and provide us with as much relevant information as possible. Please include your:

  • full name,
  • date of birth,
  • course details and
  • former student number,

as this will allow us to access your record and process your request faster.
