On completion of your studies, your degree is conferred on you in person or in absentia at a Congregation, or graduation ceremony. Degree Congregations take place in the historic Senate House, where members of the University have graduated since the Eighteenth Century.

On the morning of graduation, graduands assemble in Wolfson College for the all-important dress check and rehearsal, followed by a celebratory reception with their guests. Graduands are then led in procession to the Senate House from Wolfson by our Praelector, David Goode.

The programme for graduation with detailed timings has been sent out, please check your emails for more specific information.
