As a result of ongoing uncertainty about the duration of the coronavirus public health emergency and because of government limits on gatherings, the University has taken the decision to postpone graduation ceremonies set to take place in January 2021. This follows a similar decision to postpone ceremonies that had been due to be held in July 2020 because of restrictions in place as a result of the pandemic.
We are exploring possible options for replacement ceremonies at a future date. However, we are not yet sure when we will next be able to hold ceremonies for students to celebrate completion of their degrees and diplomas in person.
We will keep all our graduating students fully updated as soon as we have more details about alternative arrangements and look forward to coming together as a community at a later date to mark our students' achievements and the important contributions their families, friends and our staff have made to their academic success.
Please contact graduations@kingston.ac.uk if you have any further questions.
Frequently asked questions for students who expected to attend a ceremony in either July 2020 or January 2021.
The graduations team have put together a short survey to find out if you would still be interested in attending a physical in-person graduation, once we can hold them safely, and if there are any other ways we can celebrate your achievements in the meantime. Take the survey here.
We suggest you check our FAQs to find out everything you need to know about the graduation ceremonies.
