How do I get my Cambridge MA?
Graduations are administrated by your College, so in the first instance you should contact your College's development and alumni relations office to enquire how to go about arranging to have your MA Cantab conferred.
Some Colleges let alumni know when their matriculation year group becomes eligible to take the MA Cantab - make sure that you keep your address updated with your College! This will be not less than six years from the end of your first term of residence, providing that at least two years have passed since you received your BA. If you are unsure, contact your College's development and alumni relations office.
How do I confirm a Cambridge graduate's degree for employment purposes etc?
The University’s Student Registry verifies full time Cambridge degrees for official purposes such as employment. Requests for verification should be made in writing, giving as detailed information as possible for the individual and qualification(s) concerned and the reason for your enquiry, such as background check for employment.
Further information is available on the Student Registry’s webpage.
