Register for your graduation
All eligible students will receive an email invitation in late March 2024. Please follow the instructions in the email on how to register for your ceremony and book your gown.
IMPORTANT: Please do not wait until you have been awarded before registering for your graduation. Numbers are capped and ceremonies do sell out. If you register and then are not awarded in time, your tickets/gown will be automatically refunded (after all ceremonies have ended), and you will be invited to a future ceremony (once you are eligible). You are also able to register and then cancel your tickets/gown (up until Thursday 4 July 2024). Please see our FAQs for further details.
If you have not received an email by Wednesday 1 May 2024, and believe you should have been invited to register for a ceremony, please contact our Graduation Team.
Buy tickets for your graduation
Graduands are admitted to the ceremony free of charge. We offer each graduand the opportunity to purchase a maximum of two guest tickets at a cost of £25 per ticket - this includes a post-ceremony reception for all guests and new graduates. Further guest tickets may be available to purchase at a later date. All instructions and a link to the ticketing/gowning portal will be provided in the invitation email that you receive.
Visas for you and your guests for an in-person graduation
You may need to apply for a visa to return to the UK to attend your ceremony, so here is some practical advice to help you.
If you have a Student visa that expires before the date of your graduation, you must return to your home country before it expires and return to the UK on a tourist visa.
If you change the type of visa you have before graduation, for example if you get a job here, then you will no longer be bound by the Student visa regulations, but subject to the rules of your new visa you may be able to attend graduation.
Your guests may need a visas to come to your graduation and information about Visitor visas for family is available on the City website.
Please note that the Graduation Team do not provide letters. Your invite email should be accepted as evidence of invitation to the event.
