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.

  • Do you mean for university or secondary school?

  • 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.

  • My MA diploma is frameable. It's not framed, but that's because I'm lazy.

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

  • Neither my PhD certificate (UK) or my MA diploma (US) are particularly pretty. My BA (US) i smassive and very pretty. My PhD is framed. None of mine are up.

    Yeah. I haven't seen it in a while, but it was not dissimilar from my fancy US BA diploma. I haven't framed that either. I'll dig around and see if I can find it so I can be more specific - my memory's foggy because it's been almost 7 years Embarrassed

  • My MSc degree is frame-able, but I am not sure I'll ever frame it. My BA degree is framed (and DH has a matching frame for his). Both are sitting in storage whilst we're across the pond.
  • when i graduated i received my Ba Hon Degree in a pretty certificate form- right now its rolled up and in its leather  container. Like a scroll.
  • My FI says his isn't anything special.
