Academic Registry, Certification, Examination & Exit Award

As the name implies, exit awards are proofs of attainment of qualifications that the students get eligible for after satisfying the awarding body’s requirements for that qualification. In simpler words, exit awards refer to your original certificate/diploma/degree and or transcripts that you receive after the successful completion of your particular programme of study with TMUC.

An awarding body is a Chartered University, or any other legal entity recognized by the education regulatory authority to award the final qualifications to students. Universities and other institutions that have the power to award UK degrees are known by the UK government as ‘recognized bodies’ and they are approved by Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) UK.

You will receive a combination of the items detailed below after the successful completion of your programme subject to satisfying the passing criteria of your study programme.

• Award Certificate – one pager usually bearing the awarding body’s seal.
• Award Transcript – can be multiple pages depending upon your credit hours and the duration you took to complete the programme.

The production and delivery of exit awards vary for all the different qualifications that we offer at TMUC. Usually, it will take between 2 to 3 months* after your final examinations and/or your final external board of studies for the awards to be delivered to TMUC subject to your successfully passing the programme. Please note that any unusual circumstance such as force majeure may further delay the delivery of exit awards.
