Under-graduate degree

ozzz

Always wondered what the piece of paper actually says.

Is it the usual name of graduate in bold signed off by the head of department or what?

Are final year exam results from each year written down explicitly or just the overall mark i.e first, 2.i, 2.ii etc.

You can get fake ones done online as far as i can remember (im to lazy to Google it)

Mine's in Latin.

I can make out that it has the course name and overall grade. Sin é.

Most are in Latin. All the NUI ones from UCC, UCD, Maynooth and NUIG are practically the same, just the university crest and the signature at the bottom is different I think. They have the graduation date on them and whether it's a BSc, BA etc. It says the grade on it too from what I remember. Your final year results are not on the degree certificate, they are on the transcript.

And do employers generally look for the transcripts?

Depends really, some do and some don't. My current employers asked to see my transcripts from college but that was they only time I was asked.

To pre-empt your next question, a craftily concealed Capri-sun full of kids p1ss should see you through the medical no worries.

Word of advice, The online fake degree websites are practically all a scam. They'll ask for about 200 quid up front and you'll not get a degree.

Ha, well yes and no, I have a real degree, but I was looking into changing the field and getting one from a different university. Done some research, found out they're all a scam, went ahead to see for myself and they asked me for money through western union.

They usually have the College president or Registrar sign them and they have a seal too

Are you sure?....I mean really sure, was it sealed before you started drinking it?

cos you wouldn't believe the amount of capri suns filled with kids piss just lying around on the supermarket shelves these days

they are an integral part of todays modern lifestyle that evolved in response to the ubiquitous are "you a druggie?" tests that some pesky employers seem overly fond of

If you don't have a Capri sun kids piss edition an iPhone and a fake degree cert your'e literally fcuked these days........yep, your'e lower than a hoop ear-ringed, oompah loompah, be-tracksuited scummer if you aint got those sister

Wasn't common in the boom, but now I'd be very surprised if they weren't asked also multinationals will have an agency do a background check on you (I had one done on me)

Mine says first class honors on it

Mine is in English, thankfully, so I know exactly what mine says.

How so Joe

NUI ones don't actually have the grade on them.
They have a bunch of Latin, saying that it's the national university of Ireland.
The only bits which change are your name, the award, and the date of graduation.

But the last nui degree I saw not only had a seal on it, it also had a print on the paper which you could see when you held it up to the light and a mark on the back which (I think ) said it was UV sensitive.

I'll come back in a bit with the actual text from the degree scroll.

Mine says Jure Civili, which is a BCL, but replace that with whatever degree you have, like.

Those business degrees from Aldi are just printed out on the register.
