Final year checklist

Congratulations, you've almost finished your course! To make your final few months with us as easy as possible we've put together a list of things you'll need to do before you finish your studies, as well as some useful information to help you prepare for life after university.

Please ensure the following personal details are correct in MYUWE before you receive your results:

• your home address - this is where we'll send your award certificate and certificate of credit
• your mobile number
• your personal email address.

You can find out more about certificates and how your degree classification will be calculated.

Follow our IT guidance for graduating students to make sure you've got everything covered:

• Your subscription to Office 365 will end 30 calendar days after your Award Board meeting date. Please ensure that you have downloaded what you need from your OneDrive account before it closes.
• You'll lose access to university IT systems between two and four months after your course finishes. Check the IT guidance for information about when access to MYUWE, Blackboard and your H Drive will cease. 
• Your UWE Bristol email account will remain active for one year, but you'll need to log in directly through Office 365.
• Set a date to download your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) once you've received your final results.

If you're not sure what you'd like to do once your course finishes, take a look at our online careers resources or book a virtual appointment with one of our careers coaches before you leave. We're here to help you with your graduate career search or setting up your own business.

Even after you graduate you'll still be able to access our careers services via InfoHub.

Our postgraduate courses can help you fast-track your career, no matter what you studied for your undergraduate degree.

Postgraduate study is more accessible than ever before with a variety of funding and scholarship options available - you might be eligible for a tuition fee discount of 50% on selected courses through our Vice-Chancellors Scholarship.

If you're considering further study and would like to speak to someone about your options, join one of our Online Open Events.
