Summer Graduation Ceremonies
We are regrettably postponing our graduation ceremonies this summer in light of the COVID-19 emergency. This is not a decision we have taken lightly. Your safety and that of your families and the wider university community must be our priority.
Following the assessment boards, all eligible students will receive confirmation of their degrees and their certificates will be provided by post.
The Student Records Team will be in touch soon to ensure that we have everything in place to send out the degree certificates in the summer.
We recognise the significance of our graduation ceremonies to you and your families. We are therefore looking at the possibility of providing alternative arrangements to enable you to attend an event at a future point if you wish to mark your graduation in person. We will be in touch with regards to this in due course.
If you have any queries regarding arrangements for your graduation please email in the first instance:

Honorary Graduates
The purpose of the award of honorary degrees is to recognise significant achievement by individuals, and in particular those achievements that promote the same values and objectives as those that are held by the University.
The University will not necessarily award honorary degrees during each academic year or for each graduation. The conferring of the awards provides an opportunity for the University to make a strong statement about its own mission and values.
The University will not award an honorary degree to serving politicians or heads of state.
