In Summer 2024, Graduation ceremonies will take place on campus from Thursday 11 July 2024 to Friday 26 July 2024. The complete schedule for Graduation ceremonies in July 2024 is published on this page.
All finalist students are required to register a graduation choice starting from Monday 22 April 2024. Attendance at Graduation is not guaranteed if you don’t register by the deadline of Friday 17 May 2024.
To make Graduation more accessible, we are planning the option of an alternative Graduation experience on Friday 26 July 2024. This Relaxed Graduation experience is designed for students or guests with learning difficulties, autism, social anxiety, or sensory processing difficulties, but is open to any students or guests who may find this alternative format more comfortable, subject to availability. Relaxed Graduation is on a separate day to the ceremonies listed on this page.
In addition, we are offering the option of joining a Virtual Graduation. This would be held for students who are unable to attend in person. Virtual Graduation ceremonies will be held on Monday 29 July 2024. Depending on the number of graduates registering to attend a virtual graduation, we may also offer virtual ceremonies on Tuesday 30 July 2024.
Please only register to attend one Graduation event.
