The challenge
Queen Mary University of London
Having secured degree awarding powers Queen Mary University of London first worked with Advanced Secure in 2011 to provide a secure certificate that not only protected the university and its graduates from the threats of counterfeit and alteration fraud but also looked great. This entailed the design of the overall look and feel of the certificate and further enhancements with intricate foiling and embossing detailing of the university’s crest.
Since producing their certificates, Advanced Secure has also supplied the university with secure Transcripts and joint award certificates.

Queen Mary University of London’s experience
Using our solutions
“Queen Mary University of London has issued degree certificates and transcript paper from Advanced Secure Technologies over a number of years now, and we have always been impressed at the quality of the product and the customer service. When the certificate was first being designed we received a lot of valuable support and the level of detail that was ultimately possible on the foiling has been impressive.
We have received a large number of compliments on the appearance of the documentation we issue and, even aside from that, we recognise that the multiple built-in security features have massively decreased the possibility of effective forgery.
Even now, many years on, we speak to Advanced Secure staff several times a year and they have consistently been extremely friendly and helpful. All orders have arrived in a very timely way, we are never left hanging in terms of quotes or advice and we have been extremely pleased that we have used them for transcripts and certificate paper.”
