What is a proof of study letter?
There are times when you may need to provide evidence that you are a student, for example to open a bank account or to apply for a council tax exemption. As an alumni, you may also need to confirm your degree or award or dates of attendance if you did not achieve a qualification.
The University of Birmingham works with Gradintelligence (also referred to as Gradintel) to provide you with your official proof of study letter which includes dynamic content throughout your studies and will then be finalised once you become a leaver.
This single standard letter has been designed with a variety of purposes in mind and can be accessed online through Gradintel.
Gradintel will allow you to view, download, and print letters, as well as to share them securely electronically with potential employers. Gradintelligence ensures the security and authenticity of shared documents by verifying them through the University. This provides confidence to employers and other institutions that the documents are genuine and have not been tampered with. Please note that the Student Hub Services team are unable to stamp printed versions of this letter.
If you studied before 2002 you will need to request a pre-2002 proof of study letter.
