Verification services
A verification of award letter confirms your qualification and classification. It may be required for employers, prospective employers, voluntary organisations or educational institutions as proof of a former student's attainment.
It is not an academic transcript, and does not show marks for individual units.
The verification letter will have your full name you studied under, the award type, course title, award classification (where applicable) and date of the Board of Examiners confirming your award. The hardcopy letters are produced on university-headed paper by the Registration and Awards team (Registry).
Please note that for the majority of awards conferred prior to October 1992, Leeds Beckett University was not the awarding body and we may not be able to verify these awards. Contact us at this email address if you need further information: registrationandawards@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
