Digital Degree Certificate

The digital degree certificate is an electronic version of your physical certificate and can be used as proof of award for further education or career opportunities.


From 2022/23, we are now able to provide undergraduate and postgraduate taught students with a digital degree certificate via their Gradintelligence account.

The digital degree certificate is an electronic version of your physical certificate and can be used as proof of award for further education or career opportunities when shared securely via your Gradintelligence account, should prospective institutions or employers accept verified digital documentation. 

It records the same information as your physical certificate including your full name, level of award and classification.

Will I still get a physical degree certificate?

Yes. Please be advised that the digital certificate does not replace the physical certificate that you will receive. This is an additional document that we will provide to you. We will present your physical certificate to you at your Graduation ceremony or, where that is not possible, we will post it to your home address. Find out more about when you can expect to receive your physical Degree Certificate

When will I receive my digital degree certificate?

We aim to provide your digital certificate to you within 1 month of you receiving notification of your award. It will likely be available in your Gradintelligence shortly after your HEAR. You will receive notification to the email address associated with your Gradintelligence account once your digital certificate has been uploaded.

Who is eligible for a digital degree certificate?

Currently, only undergraduate and postgraduate taught students on an award bearing programme are eligible to receive the digital certificate. This includes programmes such as BA, BSc, MA, MSc, LLM, PgCert/Dip, FdCert & GradDip. Postgraduate research students such as PhD's are not currently eligible for a digital certificate but we hope to be able to provide this to them soon (within the 2023/24 academic year). This page will be updated once the development is live.

I graduated before 2022/23 - can I have a digital degree certificate?

Yes, but please be patient with us whilst we roll this document out to previous students who have a Queen Mary Gradintelligence account. You will receive notification to the email address associated with your Gradintelligence account once your digital certificate has been uploaded. Unfortunately we are unable to provide this document to students awarded before Gradintelligence was introduced at Queen Mary University of London (prior to July 2017).

We have additional webpages for how you may access your Gradintelligence account, Publication windows and more for you to review. Links to these are provided below.
