There are particular rules you should follow when listing your qualification when you have completed and been awarded a degree.
Depending on the qualification you have been awarded, there are particular letters you can place after your name to abbreviate your qualifications. These are also known as "post-nominal letters" or appellations. These letters are placed after the name to indicate that a person holds an educational degree or has membership to professional associations. Generally these letters are used only in formal and professional settings.
