November 2nd, 2022, how hard is the llm at lse really.

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Now that I have fully completed my LLM at LSE with the dissertation submitted, I can reflect on how the year went and how hard it really was. I hope this is helpful to anyone starting the programme in September or thinking of applying for next year’s cohort.

While the work during Michaelmas term consisted mostly of reading new material and getting to grips with what was taught in seminars, a whole lot more was added to this in Lent term and Summer term. Lent term is notorious for being full on. I was juggling reading for classes, working on my dissertation proposal, applying to jobs, and starting to think about revision and writing my summative assignments. Needless to say, there was a lot to do.

Obviously, the workload increased again during the Summer term as the assessment period was nearing. If you are considering the LLM at LSE, one thing to note compared to other courses is that the assessment period is not made easy. All assessments are due between May and June – this includes exams and summative essays. This means that there is no assessment from previous terms to rely on. Besides, our summative essays were longer than most other courses with a word count of 8,000 and our exams took place in-person. Realistically, this did lead to burnout, but I was very proud of myself for completing everything and learned a lot in the process.

The dissertation is also due much earlier than most other degrees. This meant that I did not have too much time to relax after exams but in return get to finish my degree nearly a month earlier. It was hard to motivate myself during the summer while writing the dissertation, but the work days were a lot shorter during this time and I was able to explore London alongside the writing process.

Social life and free time

As the workload increased, free time had to take somewhat of a backseat. However, I still made time for small things, such as walks around London or treating myself to a nice drink in a coffee shop, which also doubled as a change of scenery for studying. I also did not work for hours on end every day. Obviously, this depends on your working style, but for me, working consistently for shorter amounts every day did the trick.

Overall experience

Even though on paper, I had so many more assignments than I did in my final year of undergraduate studies at LSE, this year was a lot more enjoyable and manageable for me. COVID-19 restrictions in the previous year had taken a toll on my mental health and thus motivation and overall performance. Due to this, I did not take the regained freedom to study on campus and take exams together with friends in the exam hall for granted. Knowing that it could be so much worse made me appreciate these little things even in stressful situations. Therefore, I really enjoyed my overall experience of the LLM. Getting to know such a diverse set of people and making connections and the demanding academics made me learn a lot in a very short span of time.

The LLM at LSE is a leading programme delivered at one of the world's best law schools, ranked first overall in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 . It is unmatched in the international, comparative and interdisciplinary approaches and courses that it offers. 

The LSE LLM offers the highest quality of teaching provided by leading international and UK academics. Our approach to the teaching of law combines views and experiences from different disciplinary traditions and jurisdictions. This ensures that what you learn at LSE Law is relevant to legal study and practice in any jurisdiction.

Courses are offered in a broad range of fields including arbitration, human rights, international law, corporate, commercial and financial law.

You can choose to pursue your LLM with a general focus or select a subject specialism. If you take the required minimum number of LLM courses (or more) that fall within one of the following specialist areas you can request that your chosen specialism is included on your final certificate upon graduation. Should your dissertation topic directly correlate with your nominated specialism, the compulsory Legal Research and Writing Skills course can make up part of your specialism if this is agreed by the LSE Law School. Furthermore, with the relevant approval and subject to space on your desired course, you may be able to take up to a full unit course or two half-unit courses from another LSE department. This non-law course may be relevant to your field of specialism (if any), for example international lawyers may, with approval, take a course in international relations, though it will not contribute to gaining an LLM specialism.

Specialisms for 2024/25

Competition and Innovation Corporate and Commercial Law Criminal Law and Justice European, Comparative and Transnational Law Financial Law and Regulation Human Rights Law Intellectual Property Law International Business Law IT and Data Law Law, Politics and Social Change Public International Law Public Law Taxation Law

Programme details

For more information about tuition fees and entry requirements, see the fees and funding and assessing your application sections.

Entry requirements

Minimum entry requirements for llm.

A very good undergraduate degree in law, LLB or equivalent, (for example, a first or very high upper second in the UK LLB or equivalent). 

Applicants with a very good degree in another discipline together with very good grades in an appropriate graduate diploma in law (such as the UK's Graduate Diploma in Law) may also qualify for a place. 

Applicants without an educational background in law may apply, but would need to demonstrate a high level of professional or academic experience in areas closely related to the subjects they wish to study in order to be considered for a place.

Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet the minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.

If you have studied or are studying outside of the UK then have a look at our  Information for International Students  to find out the entry requirements that apply to you.

Assessing your application

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified prospective students and want to recruit students with the very best academic merit, potential and motivation, irrespective of their background.

We carefully consider each application on an individual basis, taking into account all the information presented on your application form, including your:

- academic achievement (including predicted and achieved grades) - statement of academic purpose - two academic references - CV

See further information on supporting documents

You may also have to provide evidence of your English proficiency, although you do not need to provide this at the time of your application to LSE.  See our English language requirements .

When to apply

Applications for this programme are considered on a rolling basis, meaning the programme will close once it becomes full. There is no fixed deadline by which you need to apply, however, to be considered for any LSE funding opportunity, you must have submitted your application and all supporting documents by the funding deadline. See the fees and funding section for more details. 

Fees and funding

Every graduate student is charged a fee for their programme.

The fee covers registration and examination fees payable to the School, lectures, classes and individual supervision, lectures given at other colleges under intercollegiate arrangements and, under current arrangements, membership of the Students' Union. It does not cover living costs or travel or fieldwork.

Tuition fees 2024/25 for LLM

Home students: £22,176  Overseas students: £36,168

The Table of Fees shows the latest tuition amounts for all programmes offered by the School.

The amount of tuition fees you will need to pay, and any financial support you are eligible for, will depend on whether you are classified as a home or overseas student, otherwise known as your fee status. LSE assesses your fee status based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education.

Further information about fee status classification.

Fee reduction

Students who completed undergraduate study at LSE and are beginning taught graduate study at the School are eligible for a  fee reduction  of around 10 per cent of the fee.

Scholarships and other funding

The School recognises that the  cost of living in London  may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.

This programme (excluding the extended part-time route) is eligible for needs-based awards from LSE, including the  Graduate Support Scheme ,  Master's Awards , and  Anniversary Scholarships . 

It is also eligible for: the Marchant Foundation Scholarship  and the Margaret Bennett Scholarship . 

Selection for any funding opportunity is based on receipt of an offer for a place and submitting a Graduate Financial Support application, before the funding deadline. Funding deadline for needs-based awards from LSE:  25 April 2024 .

In addition to our needs-based awards, LSE also makes available scholarships for students from specific regions of the world and awards for students studying specific subject areas.  Find out more about financial support.

Programme structure and courses

This programme is available full-time or part-time. Part-time LLM students take four half-unit courses each year, attending the same sessions as full-time students. Students may also register on an extended part-time basis, taking two half-unit courses each year, and bringing the total duration of the programme to 48 months.

You will take the compulsory course Legal Research and Writing Skills, which is assessed by a 10,000-word dissertation. You will then select seven LLM courses from the large range on offer, usually around 70. 

As noted above, subject to taking the required minimum number of LLM courses (or more) in one of the available specialisms, you can request that your chosen specialism is listed on your final certificate upon graduation, or alternatively your LLM can have a more general focus. The compulsory Legal Research and Writing Skills course can make up a nominated specialism if the topic directly relates to the area of study and upon agreement by the Law School. Furthermore, with the relevant approval and subject to space on your desired course, you may be able to substitute the equivalent of up to two half-unit LLM courses for course/s from another LSE department. 

(* denotes a half unit)  

Legal Research and Writing Skills*

This course provides a specially tailored series of lectures and tutorials on legal research and writing skills which are designed to assist in the writing of a dissertation on a topic of your choice. Further sources of support for the dissertation writing process are set out below

Courses the value of three and a half units from a range of options .

For the most up-to-date list of optional courses please visit the relevant School Calendar page. 

You must note however that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options.   Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.  

You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place.   These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s   Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the   updated graduate course and programme information  page. 

Teaching and assessment

Contact hours and independent study.

In half unit courses, on average, you can expect 20-30 contact hours in total. The format of contact hours will vary from course to course but usually takes the form of sessions such as lectures, classes, seminars or workshops. Contact hours vary according to courses and you can view indicative details in the  Calendar  within the Teaching section of each  course guide .

Independent study outside of class time is an essential part of the LSE LLM. The nature of the required independent study varies for each course, but overall, the LLM requires you to manage the majority of your study time yourself, engaging in activities such as reading, note-taking, thinking, class preparation and research. 

Teaching methods

The majority of courses on the programme are offered in seminar format with a maximum class size of 30 students, allowing you to be actively involved in class discussions and to interact both with the teacher and fellow students. You can expect a challenging, but also thought-provoking and ultimately rewarding experience. 

A limited number of courses are offered through larger lectures which are accompanied by back-up seminars, where the teacher will review and elaborate on issues discussed in the lectures. 

Please note that places are limited on all optional courses. Admission onto any particular course is not guaranteed and may be subject to timetabling constraints and/or students meeting specific prerequisite requirements.

Formal study is supported by Convene, a rich programme of events and activities specifically designed for Law students to further enhance the learning experience. LLM students are also encouraged to engage in the many and varied LSE Law School events which run through the academic year, including public lectures and seminars.

LSE is internationally recognised for its teaching and research and therefore employs a rich variety of teaching staff with a range of experience and status. Courses may be taught by individual members of faculty including associate professors and professors. Many departments now also employ guest teachers and visiting members of staff, LSE teaching fellows and graduate teaching assistants who are usually doctoral research students and in the majority of cases, teach on undergraduate courses only. You can view indicative details for the teacher responsible for each course in the relevant  course guide .

All taught courses are required to include formative coursework which allows the teacher to give you feedback but which is unassessed, in the sense that it does not count towards your final grade. Formative coursework is designed to help prepare you for summative assessment which counts towards the course mark and to the degree award. LSE uses a range of types of formative assessment, such as essays, problem sets, case studies, reports, quizzes, mock exams, class presentations and many others. Summative assessment may be conducted during the course or by final examination at the end of the course. An indication of the formative coursework and summative assessment for each course can be found in the relevant  course guide .

The majority of taught LLM courses will be assessed by written two-hour examinations, which will be held during Spring Term in May/June. Summative essays are submitted in May and dissertations in August. To prepare for the exams, you will have access to past exam papers from our library website and you will undertake appropriate formative coursework. 

The compulsory course is assessed via a 10,000-word dissertation on a topic of your choice and will be supervised by one of our faculty members who is an expert in the relevant area. 

Academic support

You will also be assigned an academic mentor who will be available for guidance and advice on academic or personal concerns.

There are many opportunities to extend your learning outside the classroom and complement your academic studies at LSE.  LSE LIFE  is the School’s centre for academic, personal and professional development.

Student stories

LLM Ibadan, Nigeria

LSE is filled with an array of lecturers with sound academic and research backgrounds; you are taught by experts of repute who are consultants to international and multinational bodies. They are names you read in textbooks and journals worldwide. Each day in the class is different; apart from the seminar approach, live practitioners from different areas give you first hand information and practical experience of the field. My classmates are from all over the world – it is a 'mixed grill' of intellectual minds! Active participation of each student gives insight into beliefs from different parts of the world and you do not need to travel there to get information about a country's situation.

Kavisha Sharma

My experience in the LLM has been nothing short of excellent. The academic rigour and intellectual challenge that the LLM necessitates has shown me what I am capable of and inspired me to continue living up to my potential.

Nandini Bajaj

The LSE LLM offered me exactly what I was looking for – a course that expanded my understanding of the challenges facing the world today, friendships with people from around the world, and being in the centre of the action in London. I really learned a lot not just from my professors and the classroom, but also from my peers and their experiences.

LLM Changchun, China

I chose LSE because the LLM programme offered a range of options that suited my needs, and also for its worldwide reputation and teaching staff. Situated on a compact site in the heart of London, LSE has a unique atmosphere. As an international student, eager to get to know London, this position, combined with the diverse students surrounding me, has been the best part of my experience here. I have also benefited from the support services on offer – especially the Language Centre. I took part in pre-sessional English language classes before the programme started, which increased my confidence in my language ability and enabled me to play a greater part in class discussions. I also took advantage of Dissertation Writing and Examination Writing classes during the LLM to improve my written English.

Hi! Does anyone know if classes continue during the summer, or is it just time off to write the dissertation? Currently looking for accommodation and this would impact my search. I saw on the term calendar that classes end in June and it says that taught graduate students are expected to continue to study until September... So wondering what that means.

UCL LLM graduate, Dheemanth Vangimalla, wins an international research essay prize

3 April 2024

UCL Laws LLM graduate, Dheemanth Vangimalla, wins the top award in the 4iP Council Research Awards 2023 for a paper based on his LLM research dissertation.

We are delighted to announce that Dheemanth Vangimalla, a recent UCL Laws graduate of the LLM in Intellectual Property Law has received the top award in the prestigious 4iP Council Research Awards for 2023 for his paper entitled ‘Plausibility and the flotilla: have the English courts drifted from the commodore’s approach to the evidential requirement for patent validity, and if so, is this divergence justified?’

The 4iP Council Research Award is an international research competition for European University students studying at Masters and PhD levels. It seeks to promote new ideas on topics pertinent to the interplay between intellectual property rights and innovation. Submissions, based on a student’s Masters or PhD research, are assessed by 4iP Council’s Research Award Jury made up of intellectual property experts from academia, government and industry. The papers are evaluated based on criteria including:

• Original thinking that broadens the debate on the chosen topic;
• High quality written expression; and
• Relevance to current IP problems and debate

and up to three prizes are awarded (winner and two runners-up).

In his winning paper, Dheemanth considered the origins of ‘plausibility’ and explored the evidential requirement that the term represents. His research revealed that there is divergence between the EPO and English courts in the evidential standard applied by the two decision-making bodies when assessing patent validity. He argues that the English courts adopting a higher standard lacks cogent justification as the standard neither reflects a balance between the competing objectives of the patent system nor limits a plausibility assessment to its targeted mischief. 

This paper was based on Dheemanth’s dissertation for his LLM in Intellectual Property Law, which was also recently awarded the IBIL Prize for Top Performance in an IP-related Research Essay on the LLM . During his LLM, Dheemanth was supervised by our IBIL scholarship PhD researcher, Joshua Bradley .

As part of the prize, the winning essay has been published on 4iP Council’s website , which will be accompanied by a podcast interview with the winners in due course.

Having completed his LLM in the summer of 2023, Dheemanth has been working as a Research Assistant at the UCL Institute of Brand and Innovation Law  (IBIL), while also completing his bar exams. He will join Three New Square Chambers in the autumn as a pupil barrister.

Publication of Results

The way in which we publish results is changing.

The way that we publish your results is changing as we transition to New LSE for You . Expand the sections below to find out how and when we will publish your results. 

When you will receive your final results

Results will be published on the following dates:

It takes some time to send results to students on a particular date. On the release day we have to undertake a number of quality assurance processes and, where results are being sent by email, generate the email text. We sometimes do this outside of normal working hours to ensure we do not overload our systems. This means that your results may not be published until late into the evening, possibly up to 23:59.

We do everything we can to get results published as quickly as we can, but it's never instantaneous and we can't guarantee that it will be within working hours. Please do not worry if somebody else is able to view their results but you're not, is most likely that your results are just working their way through the system. 

Our work to transition to  New LSE for You  will mean that we're able to publish results much more quickly in the future. 

When you will receive provisional marks

We publish provisional marks for certain types of students, at certain times of year:

We share provisional marks with these groups of students to allow you to prepare for your next steps, either at LSE or elsewhere. However, sharing marks early means they have not yet been ratified by the relevant exam boards so they can change. This means that provisional marks emails cannot be used as an official record and we cannot respond to queries about them.

How you will receive your results

You will no longer able to access results in the old version LSE for You, this functionality was retired in Summer 2023 and will not be reinstated. 

Provisional results released on 26 February 2024

Provisional marks from in-person January exams will be published by email. This will be sent to your LSE email address on 26 February 2024. Please bear in mind that it can take some time to create and generate all of the emails so they will not arrive with everybody at the same time. 

This email will only contain results from exams taken in January 2024. If you have final results from assessments in previous assessment periods, you will be able to access your historic results by checking the email we sent  on 28 November 2023.

Final results released on 14 March 2024

Final results for students that took assessments in RDAP1 will be published using by email. This will be sent to your LSE email address on 14 March 2024. Please bear in mind that it can take some time to create and generate all of the emails so they will not arrive with everybody at the same time. 

This email will continue your marks from RDAP1 alongside all marks from previous assessment periods. 

Results released later in the 2023/24 Academic Year

This page will be updated with specific advice for each results release period closer to the time. We're not able to confirm all information at present because work to transition to  New LSE for You  is ongoing. 

Some members of staff will still be able to access results in the old version of LSE for You for for a short period of time. 

Check out the sections below to find out more about how we publish results; the steps involved in making sure your results are accurate including ; and advice for students in various scenarios. 

What's the difference between final results and provisional marks?

Final results.

• These are marks and grades which have been ratified by both your department and either the School Board of Examiners or Graduate School Board of Examiners. These marks and grades will not change. 
• If we have made an award your final results will also include a classification and award date.
• If you are a continuing student they will also include information about your progression status.

Provisional Results

• These are marks and grades which have been reviewed within your department and uploaded to the student record system. They have not been ratified by your department or  the School Board of Examiners or Graduate School Board of Examiners. 
• For January exams you will receive a numerical mark for the exam assessment. You will not receive a mark or grade for the course, and will not receive any overall classification or progression information. January exam results are not released seperately for RDAP students.
• In July and September you will receive numerical marks for assessments. You will also receive an overall mark and grade for each course. You will not receive any overall classification or progression information. 

Visit understanding results to find out more about what your results mean.

Missing results

If you do not receive a results email at all .

• On results publication days - please remember that it takes some time to send results emails. Please do not worry if somebody else on your programme has their results but you do not, your results are most likely on their way! For more details check the ' When ' sections at the top of this page.
• If you have a debt - In line with LSE policy, you will not be sent any final results  if you owe money to the School. We will confirm if this is the case on the relevant publication date. If you have a debt please contact the  Fees, Income and Credit Control  for further information. You will still be sent provisional marks.
• If there is an ongoing query or investigation - we will not release your results if there is an ongoing query or investigation around your results. This could include Academic Misconduct, or another issue we've identified. You will normally recieve information about this in advance, but if not please contact your academic department in the first instance.

If a mark is missing from one of your emails  

• Provisional marks emails sent in September  will likely not include dissertation, capstone and similar courses, this is completely normal because marking is ongoing. These marks would never normally be available at this time of year and are only published when final results are released in November.
• An individual mark or result may be held back from publication due to an ongoing investigation, query or processing issue . We always do our best to ensure all marks are published on time, but if we're unsure about the accuracy of a mark we may have to delay publication. You will normally recieve information about this in advance, but if not please contact your academic department in the first instance.

Can I get my results early?

No, the dates outlined in the  When sections above are the earliest that we confirm results. There are a number of stages that results have to go through before we're able to release them (see How results processing works ) this means we cannot release final results any earlier. 

In some cases we are able to release provisional results, ahead of final results, to give you an indication of performance. These results will not have gone through all of the stages and so may change. 

How results processing works

Results processing involves a number of stages, these are designed to ensure that your final results are fair and accurate.

1. Submission processing. When you submit your work, or an exam script, it will be checked against registered and/or attendance records to make sure no work is lost and, where appropriate, remains anonymous.

2. Marking. Academic staff mark assessments in line with one of LSE's approved robust marking processes. Your department will be able to tell you which method is being used for each assessment.

3. External review. Academic staff from other universities review marking across the course to ensure it is in line with other UK universities. This is the first part of the ratification process. 

4. Collation of marks. Marks are collected by your academic department. These will be checked to ensure that the mark on the marksheet reflects the mark awarded by the marker.

5. Upload of marks.  Marks are sent to the Student Services Centre and uploaded to the student records system. 

6. Calculation of course level results. Individual marks are turned into course level marks and grades. For example we'll take the mark for an essay, presentation and exam and combine them to work out the mark and grade for the course overall.

7. Initial calculation of provisional classifications and progression decisions. We take course level courses and combine them to work out your progression status or final classification. Where appropriate, first year averages and aggregates are also calculated at this stage. 

8. Sub-Boards preparation. Before departmental sub-boards take place all calculations and paperwork is checked. Exceptional Circumstances submissions are also retrieved and prepared for the sub-board.

9. Departmental sub-boards take place.  All marks, classifications and progression decisions are reviewed by your departmental sub-board. The sub-board will also review all exceptional circumstances submissions and where appropriate make a case for the relevant School level board to consider. Where appropriate departmental prizes will be considered during sub-boards. Sub-boards are the third part of the ratification process. 

10. School boards preparation. After departmental sub-boards have taken place everything is checked again and collated in preparation for the School level boards.

11. School boards take place. All departmental sub-board decisions are reviewed to ensure equity and consistency across LSE. Each Exceptional Circumstances case is carefully considered. There are separate meetings for the School Board of Examiners (BA and BSc); Law School Board of Examiners (LLB); Graduate School Board of Examiners (Diploma and MSc); and General Course Board of Examiners (General Course and GO LSE). School boards are the third part of the ratification process.

12. Post School board updates. The student records system is update to reflect any decisions made at the School boards.

13. Final checks and prizes. All marks, classifications and progressions are given a final quality check. Prizes are added to the Student Records System where they are available. 

14. Publication of Results. Your results are published using the methods outlined above.

Challenging Results

We are confident that our assessment and results processes are robust and that the results we publish will be accurate. As you will see from the section above there are lots of checks to ensure that your results are fair and accurate. 

However, in certain circumstances, there are options to  challenge your results .

General Course and GO LSE students

Official documentation for General Course and GO LSE students (including those on incoming exchanges such as Erasmus) does not include numerical marks. You will only receive an assessment grade and class grade. 

Your home university will determine the subsequent accreditation of the academic work completed at LSE. 

However, to give you an indication of performance, the provisional results released in early  July will include a numerical mark for your assessments. Remember that these may change, they are simply for your information. 

You will also receive an email, from the General Course team,  shortly after results have been published showing your final numerical marks. Again, this is for your information only and does not constitute a transcript. 

For more information take a look at The General Course - Teaching and assessment .

Taught course results for research degree students

Mres students in the taught phase of their programme (i.e. those who have yet to upgrade).

Pre-upgrade MRes students are governed by the regulations for taught postgraduate programmes and managed by the Student Services Centre. As such, your results will be processed in line with those for other taught masters students – for details on timing, provisional results etc. check the sections above.

Provisional taught course results for MPhil/PhD students and post-upgrade MRes/PhD students

For confirmation of  provisional  results please contact the research degrees programme manager/ administrator in your  home department . 

Final taught course results for MPhil/PhD students and post-upgrade MRes/PhD students

For confirmation of final results, please contact the research degrees programme manager/administrator in your  home department, after the relevant results release date (in most cases this will be 19 November). 

Further guidance  

If you have any questions about taught course results please contact your home department in the first instance. If further guidance is necessary, your department will contact the PhD Academy on your behalf.

Intercollegiate students

Incoming intercollegiate students.

Incoming intercollegiate students are those from other University of London colleges who are taking courses at LSE. Results for these students are not published by LSE.  Please contact your home university for your LSE course result. 

Outgoing intercollegiate students

Outgoing intercollegiate students are LSE students who are taking courses at another University of London institution as part of their LSE degree. Results for these students are published by LSE and, where available, will be included in normal results publication. Please check the  When  and  How  sections at the top of this page for more information.

Transcripts & Degree Certificates

Transcripts for continuing students.

Intermediate Transcripts  are available from the  Student Services Centre  (during our opening hours) immediately after the release of results. 

Transcripts for students with an award

Final transcripts are issued using a system called Digitary. This allows you to share your transcript electronically and also order hard copies if required. Your final transcript also contains comparative data which needs to be calculated after results are published. Final transcripts are uploaded to Digitary after the publication of results. For more information, including expected time lines, visit  Transcripts .

Degree Certificates

A hard copy degree certificate will be available for collection during the Graduation Ceremonies. If you do not collect it during at your ceremony you can request to collect it from the Student Services, or have it sent to you by secure courier.  For more information visit  Degree Certificates .
