Graduation

Current Graduations consist of a formal ceremony in which graduands walk across the stage in the William Aston Hall to shake hands with the Vice-Chancellor. This is followed by a festival-style celebration, providing a space outside for graduands and their families to relax and mingle with each other. There is live entertainment, outdoor games, a range of different photo opportunities, a wide selection of food stalls, a bar and lots more for you to enjoy!

How do I know if I will be eligible?
Eligibility is determined by the award received and the award conferral date, provided there are no outstanding financial issues on the student account.
When will I be able to register for Graduation?
The registration task will be sent to eligible students. This will be sent to your student email address and the personal email address on record. Please ensure that your email address on record is up to date.
When can I get my VISA letter?

This can also be used by your family to show why they wish to visit the UK. Further information on applying for visas can be found on the Home Office website.
