St Mary’s to Award Honorary Bachelors of Education Degrees

The University is delighted to announce that it is opening the application process for the conferral of Honorary Bachelors of Education degrees for our cohort of students awarded the Certificate of Education up until 1983.

Whilst detailed arrangements are still under development at this stage, in order to enable University staff to plan graduation ceremonies, we request that potential applicants contact alumni@stmarys.ac.uk providing proof of their original award where possible. This will be verified against our historic records and allow an invitation to a forthcoming ceremony to be issued. In order to assist planning, please provide details by 1^st September 2023.

It is expected that the first opportunity to confer these awards will be alongside the University Spring graduations scheduled for March 2024, depending upon demand we will look to schedule further ceremonies as required.

In those situations where the original award has been lost or destroyed, please provide your name when studying and if possible your student identification number. The University will then check its historical records to confirm eligibility. Please do share this information with fellow St Mary’s graduates, we are keen to reach as many of our alumni community as possible. We will share further details via our alumni communications later in the year and we look forward to celebrating with those of you able to attend the ceremony next year. In those cases where an individual is unable to attend the ceremonies, we will arrange for a certificate to be sent.

Further details on the arrangements for the ceremonies will be announced later in Sep 2023.
