Award certificates

Award certificates are issued upon completion of your course of study. They will not be given to you at your graduation ceremony, but will be sent to you directly. Please ensure that your contact details are up to date in My Birkbeck. Certificates will be despatched to your home address.

Certificate despatch

Birkbeck awards University of London degrees, certificates and diplomas:

  • The University of London Diploma Production Office will produce and send out certificates to all Birkbeck graduates and award-holders. This normally takes place six months after the date of the award.
  • If you live in the UK, the Diploma Production Office will send your certificate by recorded delivery to your home address. If you do not live in the UK, the Diploma Production Office will send your certificate by international recorded delivery to your home address. Please ensure your home address is up to date in My Birkbeck.
  • If you do not receive your certificate when you expect to receive it, or if it is lost or damaged and you require a replacement, please contact the University of London Diploma Production Office.

Birkbeck College Certificate of Continuing Education (Cert CE) certificates are produced and despatched by the Examinations and Assessment Office. They will be sent to your home address within six months of the date of the award.

Getting certified copies

We do not hold copies of certificates. If you require a certified copy, you can request this from the University of London Transcripts Office: requesting a transcript.
