Q for those who were edu-ma-cated in the UK
Do they do diplomas in the American sense?
DBF got a certificate at his graduation ceremony, but it's not very ornate or frame-able. I didn't walk at my ceremony so, as of now, I haven't received anything.
This is for an MSc. Just wondering what is typical.
Re: Q for those who were edu-ma-cated in the UK
I was not edu-ma-cated in the UK, but when DH got his MSc from a Swedish university, his diploma thing was LAME-O. Just like a plain piece of paper with boring writing on it. Not even in Latin or anything. We were originally going to frame it and put it up next to my college diploma (which is fancy and in Latin and stuff), but when it came, we were like uhhh, nevermind.
When I graduate med school I hope I don't get a boring diploma. I might have to make myself a fancy one, lol!
My US degree is in English. But it's pretty, my teaching cert is pretty as well.
My QTS from the UK is so lame it looks fake, to me anyway. It has gray printing on off white paper. Nothing is raised or anything.

Frameable as in a piece of paper you can physically frame, or frameable as in a fancy thing you'd be proud to display?
