Verfication of award letter

If the relevant data is available, you can get a letter endorsing details of your award, here. The charge for this service is £25 per copy, including postage and packing.

Transcripts and certified copy transcripts prior to 2003

If you completed your award before 2003, we may not be able to provide you with a transcript.

Faculties don't normally retain files for more than six years after you graduate/end registration.

Your request will be forwarded to your faculty to see if it still has the relevant information to provide a transcript. If not, the faculty will provide a covering letter. The faculty may charge for this service.
