Digital Certificates
In May 2021, the University of Warwick extended our partnership with Gradintelligence to include access to digital versions of award certificates. This service enables graduates to choose to share their digital certificate securely with prospective employers, universities and other third parties. Through a Gradintelligence account, graduates are also able to develop an online Personal Profile and, optionally, take advantage of the talent matching service which can connect students with targeted graduate level employment and/or further education opportunities.
Digital certificates are issued in addition to hard copy certificates for all levels of award where certificates are issued by the Awards and Ceremonies team, excluding a small number of joint degree programmes.
See below for more information for:
From May 2021 all eligible students receiving an award from the University of Warwick will automatically receive a digital certificate in addition to their hard copy certificate, in the weeks following conferral. You do not need to request a digital certificate. It will be provided automatically.
Degree level students will still need to complete graduation registration, when asked to do so, which includes providing an address for the delivery of their hard copy certificate of opting to graduate in absentia. Students attending a ceremony are presented with their certificate at the ceremony. More information about digital certificates will be provided during this registration process.
Students receiving lower awards will receive more information about digital and hard copy certificates via email following conferral of their award.
In all cases, we aim to make digital certificates available within one month of conferral via your Gradintelligence account. Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught students, who are registered for a Gradintelligence account at the start of their course in order to have access to complete the Warwick Award, along with any other students who already have a Gradintelligence account, will receive an email from Gradintelligence when their digital certificate is ready to view. Postgraduate Research students, and any others not eligible to complete the Warwick Award, will be automatically registered with Gradintelligence and receive an email inviting them to activate their account once their digital certificate is ready to view. You should not register your own account, as this will prevent us from being able to upload your digital certificate. If you have not received your digital certificate/automated account registration email within one month of conferral, please contact us.
Unfortunately, digital certificates are not available for the small number of joint award programmes where hard copy certificates are not produced by the University of Warwick. Additionally, digital certificates are not currently available for graduates from Cranfield, Exeter and Warwick and NTU/Warwick joint degree programmes, due to the bespoke formatting of the certificates.

Both the HEAR and Digital Certificates are delivered online through the Gradintelligence Software.

If you are an alumnus from the University of Warwick and your award was conferred between 2009 and April 2021, please complete our Digital Certificates - Alumni Request Form if you would like to request digital copies of your certificate/s via the third Party Service Gradintelligence.
You will need to meet all of the eligibility requirements listed on the form for us to be able to generate your digital certificate/s. Please do not complete the form if you do not meet all eligibility requirements.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible for digital certificates to be made available for awards issued prior to 1 January 2009 as award data before this date is held in a different format. We hope to be able to extend the Digital Certificate offering to earlier awards in future years.
