Arts University of Plymouth graduation certificate Frame

Arts University of Plymouth Graduation Certificate Frame

Celebrate your creative achievement with a frame as distinctive as your degree.

Graduating from Arts University Plymouth is no small feat. As one of the UK’s last remaining specialist arts universities — and one with over 170 years of history, having been founded as the Plymouth Drawing School in 1856 — your qualification carries real weight and prestige. This handcrafted frame is designed to honour that achievement and display your A4 portrait graduation certificate in a way that does it full justice, for years to come.​

Handmade in Great Britain

Your frame is individually handcrafted in Great Britain using high-quality solid wooden moulding, with double-pinned corners for exceptional strength and durability. It arrives ready to hang straight out of the box and is also compatible with an optional desk stand — giving you the flexibility to display your certificate wherever feels right.

The removable backboard makes inserting and removing your certificate simple and risk-free, and overall frame dimensions are a perfectly proportioned 293mm wide x 380mm high.

A Mount Made for Arts University Plymouth

At the heart of the frame is a bespoke mount, uniquely printed with ‘Arts University Plymouth’ using traditional hot foil printing on approved acid-free mount card — essential for archival preservation, ensuring the mount will not yellow or degrade over time.

The mount colour has been carefully selected to complement the Arts University Plymouth certificate colours, creating a cohesive, gallery-quality presentation that feels entirely right for a specialist creative institution.

Protected Behind Anti-Glare Styrene

Your certificate is protected behind anti-glare styrene, which not only delivers a crisp, reflection-free view of your qualification but also reduces the damaging effects of UV light, helping to preserve the colours and integrity of your certificate.

Your Choice of Frame

This frame is available in four premium moulding styles, so you can choose the one that best suits your home, office, or personal taste:

• Contemporary Matt Black — clean, modern, and minimalist; ideal for contemporary interiors
• Classic Black and Gold — a timeless combination that adds a touch of traditional elegance
• Stylish Black and Silver — sleek and sophisticated, perfect for a cooler, contemporary aesthetic
• Traditional Teak and Gold — warm, rich tones that bring a classic and distinguished feel

All four styles are crafted to the same exacting standard — only the moulding differs, so whichever you choose, you are receiving the same exceptional quality of craftsmanship.

A University Steeped in Creative History

Arts University Plymouth sits at the heart of Britain’s Ocean City — a city with a remarkable story of its own. Plymouth was the departure point for the Pilgrim Fathers aboard the Mayflower in 1620, and it was from these same shores that Sir Francis Drake helped defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588. The city’s spirit of bold endeavour and exploration feels entirely fitting for a university dedicated to the creative arts.

The University itself received full university status in May 2022, having evolved from the original Plymouth Drawing School through nearly 170 years of artistic education. It remains one of the UK’s few truly specialist arts universities — making a degree from here genuinely rare and worth commemorating.

Your degree from Arts University Plymouth deserves to be seen. Order your handcrafted certificate frame today and give your achievement the display it truly deserves.
