Masters intercalators If you are intercalating an undergraduate degree with a masters degree you should not graduate with the masters before your undergraduate degree is completed, as it may affect funding. If you have received an invitation to register for graduation with an intercalated masters degree before your undergraduate graduation is due, please contact graduation-office@bristol.ac.uk.
If you do not meet eligibility criteria
If you register but do not end up meeting the eligibility criteria you will automatically be put forward to be invited to the next congregation, in July 2024.
Check if your award has been confirmed
When your award has been confirmed at an exam board you will receive an email from the Examinations Office to tell you your results are available in eVision.
If you have not yet been awarded, your school or faculty can tell you when this is due to be considered at an exam board.
Check your tuition fees status
You can check if you have outstanding tuition fees and make a payment using the MyBristol portal, under Fees and Funding.
Postgraduate research students
The eligibility criteria apply to all postgraduate research students.
There are additional deadlines for examiners to submit their report to the Postgraduate Exams Office, so that your degree can be considered at an appropriate Research Degrees Exam Board.
If you have any questions about the exam board, the process of examination or required paperwork, you should visit the Academic Quality and Policy office webpage or contact the Postgraduate Research Exams team at pgr-exams@bristol.ac.uk.
Minor corrections
If your degree is awarded at a Research Degrees Examination Board subject to the correction of minor errors, you are still eligible to attend your graduation (provided you have no outstanding tuition fees), however you may not get your certificate at your graduation ceremony.
Your degree certificate will only be available once you meet the requirements. Find out when you will get your degree certificate.
