The programme of study comes before the recipient’s name on this University of Surrey degree certificate sample. The award follows in dark blue, with “First Class Honours” set apart on its own line beneath the bachelor’s degree. The coat of arms appears in full colour at the top and again as a much larger, pale outline across the lower half. The university’s name sits at the bottom right beside a gold stag.
