From October 2019 this will be a chargeable service for 3rd parties of £25 (excluding VAT) per request.

Is it secure to share my qualification documents with other people?

By revoking access when required and deciding who gets access to your documents, you have control over exactly who views your documents, which documents they see, when they see them and for how long. Although these electronic documents have been published by Brunel University London, they are no longer valid when printed or removed from this website.

How are the electronic documents created?
