Graduation

Graduation ceremonies represent the highlight of the University year. The celebrations enable us to publicly recognise and reward the achievements of our students. They also provide the opportunity for graduates to receive well-deserved applause from parents, partners and friends.

We hope that your graduation ceremony will be a special occasion that you will be able to look back on with fondness in years to come.

This Summer's ceremonies will be held in the week of 9-13th July 2012 at Trentham Gardens. 

Ticket booking will open on Monday 19th March 2012 using the MyPortal site.  The closing date for booking tickets is Friday 25th May 2012.
