Replacement certificates
Your degree certificate is an original document and can only be replaced if lost, destroyed or stolen.
On this page you'll find all the information about what you need to do when ordering a copy of your degree certificate.
Please note that there can only be one copy in circulation and the replacement will void the original, and our university does not keep electronic copies that can be emailed to you. The replacement will take the current certificate format.
