Your celebration

Your graduation ceremony marks the culmination of all your hard work as you're formally presented with your certificates and awards. All ceremonies are presided over by the University Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor. They follow the procession party out at the start of each ceremony and personally congratulate every graduation student on the stage.

Graduation ceremonies are held at The Fire Station, in the heart of the city's culture quarter.

You'll have the opportunity to celebrate in the city centre with an array of local restaurants, cafés and bars.

Join our alumni community

Once you graduate, you automatically become a member of the University’s Alumni Association and will have access to a whole range of benefits and services.
