The name that will be printed on your degree certificate is the one that we hold on your official student record. Your degree certificate will show your name in full, including any middle names.
If you need to change your name on your student record, please use the name change form to view details on how to do this. You'll be asked to provide evidence that supports the update that you've requested. If you are expecting to register with an external body following your graduation (for a regulated profession, for example, health and social care, architecture, education, or law) the name on your university record will likely need to match your legal name.
Before graduation
Please be aware there is a deadline to change your name before graduation, which for graduates attending ceremonies in December 2024, is November 28 2024. This is to allow us time to print your certificate and transcript before the ceremony.
After graduation
You are not able to amend the name on your degree certificate after the date of your graduation.
