Graduation

Your award

Your degree is awarded by Senate on the recommendation of the Board of Examiners. The award is governed by University Regulations and they apply to the degree as follows: For the PgCert, if you have been awarded 60 credits you will be awarded the degree.

The Board of Examiners, which includes external examiners, will meet following the conclusion of your programme. The main purpose of this meeting is to recommend the award of the degree and other qualifications.

For the Postgraduate Certificate, these awards are not presented at the ceremony but will be posted you your home address, following completion of the programme.

Your digital transcript

The University of Sheffield will provide you with a digital transcript of your results in early December of your final year via the secure online Sheffield Authorised Records (ShARe) system.

You will continue to have access to ShARe after you leave the University, and you will be able to use ShARe to give other people (e.g. employers) permission to view your Transcript as well, in order to provide official evidence of your postgraduate achievements.

In order to log in to Share you need to find out your HUSID (HESA Unique Student Identifier) number, which will be your ShARe User ID. To do this, log in to MUSE and go to My Services > myRecord > Personal Details.

We do not expect that you will need an official paper version of your Transcript. However, should you require an official paper copy for exceptional circumstances (e.g. regulatory purposes), you can order one via SSiD at:
