We filmed and recorded our July 2024 ceremonies for our graduates and guests to watch back.
You must book your tickets via OSIS when you have received the invitation email from the graduations team. The graduate's ticket is free. You can purchase up to two tickets for your guests in the first instance.
We encourage graduates to wear academic dress – gown, hood and hat. It's not compulsory, but most graduates choose to dress up. You need to book your gown in advance, and further information on how to do this will be in your invitation email.
You can take photos at the ceremony but we also have a photographer on site. No need to book or pay in advance – just turn up two hours before your ceremony to join the photo queue.
Students who are facing financial hardship have the opportunity to submit an application to the Graduation Support Fund which will provide up to two guest tickets and gown hire (for your graduation day) free of charge.
A three-minute speech, The Vote of Thanks is given by a graduate during their awards ceremony at the Rose Theatre to thank the people who have contributed to their success.
