If the certificates are legible, it should be possible to make out what kind of MA pass mark was obtained, e.g. above or below 60% or 70%.
Birmingham City University: Criminology - PgCert / PgDip / MA (Department of Sociology)
"Entry Requirements: You would usually be expected to have a good undergraduate degree but admission will also be made on the basis of experience of a suitable quality and length"
MA Programme Specification
"To qualify for a Master’s Degree a student must successfully complete all required summative assignments and obtain 180 credits. The pass mark in all modules is 50%. The award of Master’s Degree with Commendation is made to students who achieve an average mark of 60 to 69 per cent across the 180 credits of which the complete Master’s comprises. The award of Master’s Degree with Distinction is made to students who achieve an average mark of 70% or above."
BA Hons
The Independent: Criminology
"Study options: Three years full-time in nearly all cases....
Where’s best to do it? Durham comes third in the Complete University Guide 2012 for sociology, but is the highest ranking university to specifically offer criminology, followed by Warwick and Surrey (which offers criminology in conjunction with psychology or law. Students at Bolton - which offers a degree in criminological and forensic psychology - were most satisfied, followed by those at Birmingham City University."
In university league tables BCU ranked 82 out of 123 overall and 59 out of 94 for sociology.

It looks as if it's June 2007 for the postgraduate diploma and November 2007 for the MA. There appears to be some quibbling on twitter about the university name at the top of the certificates as if it casts doubt on their authenticity. But the university seems to have had that name until 2007, when it changed, though Wikipedia doesn't say if award certificates were affected and, if so, how quickly.
In August 2005, the University of Central England rebranded itself as UCE Birmingham for marketing and promotional purposes, though the original name remained for official use. This decision was reversed in March 2007, following the arrival of a new Vice-Chancellor, and the fuller title University of Central England in Birmingham was resurrected for all purposes.
Renaming[edit]
In June 2007, it was announced that the University would be renamed,[31] with three possible names being proposed: Birmingham City University, Birmingham Chamberlain University, and Birmingham Metropolitan University.[32] Staff and students (both current and alumni) were asked to complete a survey on what they wished the name to be changed to. On October 1, 2007, Vice-Chancellor David Tidmarsh unveiled the name change from UCE Birmingham to Birmingham City University.
