In light of the recent and ever changing situation around COVID-19, we have made various changes to our processes and we have changed our guidance on the submission of documents. You can find all updates on our
FAQs page. Please regularly check the FAQs for updates to ensure you are following the most recent guidance.
If you have graduated
You will have been asked to upload a scan of your original or certified copies of your degree certificate(s) and transcript(s) on the Postgraduate Application Portal.
If you have not done so already, you can go back into the portal to upload your documents. Otherwise your application cannot be considered.
Please be prepared to send in your original or certified copies of your documents if the Admissions team requests to verify them.
If you don’t have certified copies of your documents and would prefer not to send the original, you can get copies certified by either the institution where you studied; a notary; or the British Council (students outside of the UK).
If you are an EU or International student and submitted your application with a University of Birmingham Overseas Representative, they will be able to verify your documents and there will be no need to send in copies by post.
If you are currently a student
You will have been asked to upload an interim transcript from your latest exams.
If you have not done so already, you can go back into the portal to upload your interim transcript. Otherwise your application cannot be considered.
Please be prepared to send in your original or certified copies of your degree certificate and final transcript upon graduation if the Admissions team requests to verify them.
If you don’t have certified copies of your documents and would prefer not to send the original, you can get copies certified by either the institution where you studied; a notary; or the British Council (students outside of the UK).
