Schedule by School / Centre

The Graduation schedule is listed below. You are only able to attend with your parent school. Where schools have more than one ceremony, information on the allocation of graduates across these ceremonies will be available as a breakdown shortly after the schedule is published on this page. We kindly request that you do not email for updates before the dates and times are published on this page.

If the Graduation ceremony cannot take place, if it is delayed or the ceremony date/time needs to change due to circumstances beyond our control the University of Leeds will not be liable for any losses direct or otherwise incurred by the graduands or their guests. 

Circumstances beyond our control can include fire, explosion, terrorist act (or threat of terrorist act), act of God, pandemic, national mourning (any member of the royal family), or as a result of any industrial action or dispute involving the University of Leeds.
