Your final degree classification

Unlike undergraduate degrees, postgraduate awards are not classified i.e. you do not receive a 1st, 2:1, 2:2 or 3rd classification. The criteria for award are given below. 

Postgraduate Certificate award criteria

Postgraduate Certificates are not eligible for awards with Merit or Distinction.

To be recommended for a PGCert pass you must have been awarded all 60 credits required for the programme.

For information on calculating your award calculation, see the Student Guide to the University’s Rules for Progression and Award in Postgraduate Programmes.

Graduation ceremony

If you are eligible to graduate you will receive an online invitation to graduate from the University Graduation Office. It is important that you ensure that you have recorded a current non-university email address on your e:Vision account, prior to completing the programme, for this purpose.

Detailed information about the full graduation process, including how to register for graduation or how to graduate in absentia is available on the Graduation webpages.  

You should respond to the graduation invitation even if you do not wish to attend to ensure that the Graduation Office sends your certificate and academic transcript to the correct address.
