This page offers guidance for graduates on how to obtain physical and digital versions of your certificate. All digital certificates provided will exclusively be published on Parchment (Digitary CORE).

Parchment (Digitary CORE) is a third-party service The University of Manchester uses to publish and hold graduates' official digital documents (Certificate, Transcript, and HEAR Document). The service is not owned by The University of Manchester. The University of Manchester issues the documents, but graduates sign up with Parchment (Digitary CORE).

Parchment (Digitary CORE) helps graduates securely receive digitally certified, official documents online and share academic documents with third parties, making it easier to verify academic achievements.
