Tab Content: Undergraduates
Undergraduate students are invited to attend our Summer Graduation ceremonies. The next session dates are to be confirmed and have been postponed from July 2020 to December 2020
Students are arranged into a ceremony by their College and sometimes College ceremonies are also split by Faculty. MBChB students all graduate in the same ceremony.
- If you have compulsory final year resit examinations or choose to sit optional resits in August, you would then not be eligible to graduate in the same summer and would have to wait until the next summer to attend Graduation.
- Students on four-year Integrated Masters courses, who decide at the end of three years that they wish to exit the University with a Bachelors's degree, can enquire about late registration at the point that they make this decision, or they can ask to have their Graduation deferred to the next year.
