Doctoral award and graduation
Award letters are sent to successful candidates after the Doctoral School has received all parts of the final submission.
These are:
- Final e-copy of thesis sent to doctoralschool@soas.ac.uk
- Electronic Thesis Agreement Form completed on PhD Manager
All SOAS MPhil and PhD certificates are ordered via PremierCert+ at the end of each calendar month and are estimated to arrive to your home address on record, within 6 and 12 weeks of being ordered. An e-copy will be accessible via a link PremierCert+ will send to your email address on record.
If your award date is prior to 19 July 2024, you would be included in the September 2024 Graduation ceremony. If your award date is after 19 July 2024, then you will be invited to the graduation ceremony the following year. For all graduation queries, please use the contacts listed on the Graduation page.
