How to get replacement certificates
From Middlesex University – if you graduated after 1993
Request a replacement certificate for £65 through our online store.
From other awarding bodies – if you graduated before 1993
Contact UniHelp to find out if we are able to replace your certificate.
If your certificate is from before 1993 or from an institution that merged into Middlesex Polytechnic then we may not be able to issue a certificate because there may not be sufficient records available.
