Degree awards at Vocational schools.

When the vocational schools are offering Foundation Degrees and Bachelor Degrees validated by a University, does anyone know how long it takes to get the actual degree or the transcript after they leave/graduate. Does the school provide it or the validating university? DD has asked at her school and is getting very vague responses that is takes a few months. What if you need the transcript to enter another course or programme?

It does take a few months; approx until about Oct but definitely before graduation ceremony in November. The certificate comes from the validating university. If it is the actual degree ie not the foundation degree, students are invited to the graduation ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral in the case of the University of Kent. By that point most of the dance students don't attend as they are working or in further training. It looks like it is a nice day though!

 

The schools have a 'graduation ceremony' at the end of the course in July where students are presented with a certificate of completion which can be used to prove they have attained a degree. At this point students do not know what class of degree they have.

Dd just completed her degree and received the transcript on the same day as her degree classification. It was issued by the university rather than the ballet school. However, may be different for other schools. I'd ring the university -I'm sure they'll be able to help :)
