Programme handbook

Although this is an online distance learning programme, all our students graduating with a degree award are invited to attend the graduation ceremony in person.

The graduation ceremonies are in November each year and are held in the McEwan Hall, Edinburgh. Students attending the ceremony in person will need to register. Please also let the programme team know as soon as you know you are planning to attend, so we can let you know of any School graduation events and we can put you in touch with other students attending the graduation. If you need to request a UK visa in order to attend the graduation, please also contact the programme team. 

Attendance at the graduation ceremony is optional. Students not attending the ceremony will graduate in absentia and will be sent their degree certificate in the post after all the ceremonies are completed. This will be sent to your home address as held on the student record system. If your home address needs to be updated you should do this via MyEd:

Students who live out with the UK/EU will have their degree certificate sent via DHL. Please ensure that your home address, your telephone details and your personal email address are up-to-date.
