Graduation tickets

Your graduation is a special day. During the registration process you can request up to two guest tickets for family or friends to come and share it with you.

GUEST TICKETS 

You'll need to register to attend a ceremony, during the registration process you can request up to two guest tickets.  

Apply for extra tickets

Although we schedule the graduation ceremonies to capacity there may be an opportunity for you to express an interest in up to two extra tickets.  We allocate these on a first-come, first-served basis subject to availability. They are in very high demand, and there is no guarantee your application will be successful. 

An extra ticket form will be live here from 9am on the 22 November and will close at 5pm on the 24 November. 

Once it has closed we will allocate what extra tickets we have available and email you to notify you if you have been successful.

COLLECTING YOUR TICKETS

Collect your ticket and your guest tickets from the ticket desk in the foyer of the Parkinson Building on the day of the ceremony. Arrive at least 90 minutes before the ceremony start time.

You will need to bring some form of photo ID, such as your student card, with you.

There is strictly no admission to the Great Hall without a ticket.

YOUNG CHILDREN

All guests will need a ticket to the Great Hall even if they are young children.

Sit on knee tickets can be obtained from the ticket desk in the foyer of the Parkinson Building for children aged 5 years and under. The child should be present when requesting the sit on knee ticket.

Children aged over 5 years will require a guest ticket as per every other guest attending a ceremony.  

Children under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.   

GUESTS WITHOUT A TICKET

If you want to bring more than two people to your graduation day but don't have any extra tickets it is also shown in the Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre and The Old Bar in the Student Union.
