Graduation Ceremony

Graduands proceed to Senate House
Date 25/02/2023 at 09.00 - 25/02/2023 at 17.00

Graduation ceremonies are the culmination of students’ hard work and commitment, and a moment to celebrate the completion of their Cambridge degree.

Graduands proceed to Senate House

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. 

For more information please visit our graduation information page.

How we can develop ‘death activism’ – a variety of tactics and posthuman practices which celebrate death, its inevitability, its forms, from the slow to times of crisis, and how can trauma and mourning emerge as their own forms of expression, or even activism?
