Graduation dates and times

The schedule allows you to see the date and time of your ceremony so you plan for your special day.

Graduation schedule for December 2023 

All finalist students are required to register a graduation choice which we hope to open on the 16 October.  Attendance is not guaranteed if you don’t register by the deadline.  

To make Graduation more accessible, we are trialling an alternative Graduation experience this December. This 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. This ceremony will be taking place on Tuesday 19 December 2023. 

In addition a virtual graduation ceremony will be held on Friday 8 December for those students who are unable to attend in person. 

Please only register to attend one event. 

Graduation timetable will be listed below when it is ready.  You are only able to attend with your parent school. 

If the Degree 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.
