Graduation

For those graduates who still wish to attend a ceremony, we are increasing capacity at both our Winter 2021 and Summer 2022 ceremonies. These will be held on the below dates:

Our Winter ceremonies will be held during the week commencing Monday 29th November 2021 and will be in Maxwell Hall, Peel Park Campus. We will be inviting students to register for these ceremonies in October this year.

Our Summer 2022 ceremonies will be held during the week commencing Monday 18th July 2022 at The Lowry, Salford Quays and we will invite students to register for these ceremonies in early Spring next year.

You will be invited to attend the Winter ceremonies in October this year which will include full details on how to book and next steps. If you would prefer to attend the Summer 2022 ceremonies, you will need to let us know that you would like to defer your attendance, instructions on how to do so will be included in the winter ceremonies invitation. This will enable us to update your record and ensure that you are invited to the Summer ceremonies.

Invitations for the Summer 2022 ceremonies will be sent in early Spring next year.

All graduates who register to attend will be able to request up to 2 complimentary guest tickets.

If we are able to do so, we will sell additional tickets closer to the ceremony dates. Please note the sale of additional tickets is not guaranteed.

All those that are invited need to register to attend in order to secure their place. This will be operated on a first come first served basis to ensure it is fair. Once the ceremony reaches capacity, ceremony bookings will be closed. If you still wish to attend a ceremony, we will then invite you to attend the next set of ceremonies available.

Yes, all ceremonies will be traditional and will include gowning and photography. On the day, once you have checked in, you will then go and collect your gown and depending on the time, head to the photography studios before or after your ceremony.

Each school will have their own day(s) of ceremonies and all levels of awards are represented across Undergraduate and Postgraduate study. The specific ceremony schedule is released when registration opens. For the Winter 2021 ceremonies, this will be mid-October 2021. For the July 2022 ceremonies, this will in Spring 2022.

Graduates are seated in order of award e.g., PhD, MA, UG and then alphabetically within each programme.

We will invite you via your personal email address that is held on your student record. To ensure we have the correct details, please keep your information up to date here.

Graduation ceremonies are a celebration of your degree award and not the actual awarding of your degree which happens after your final results. Therefore, you will receive your certificate via post around 6-8 weeks after receiving your final result. For more information on certificates, please see here.
