By the spread of university learning opportunities, learning tend to become available for everyone who satisfies college admission requirements. Although, in some field the number of graduate is greater than available job chances, non- qualified persons looked to fill such jobs by falsification of academic university certificates to satisfy a particular job description. Frailness of some graduates to satisfy postgraduate studies requirements may be also another reason of academic certificate falsification. Availability of advance scanning and copying technology assist in certificate falsification. Moreover, the weakness of the certificate issuing system in the university itself may also lead to this phenomenon. In this research work, a study of certificate falsification in Sudan University of Science and Technology in 2013 carried out. Number of 1100 certificate verified during year 2013. Results showed that 1.18% of them were false. Moreover, 0.82% certificate of them provided for verification by abroad corporations and only 0.37% provided by corporations inside the country. No false certificate issued inside the university.
