Winter graduations

Our winter graduation ceremonies take place between Saturday 23 November and Friday 29 November.

Graduation - share your story

All graduation ceremonies take place in the iconic McEwan Hall, which first opened its doors in 1897 as the purpose-built graduation hall for the University of Edinburgh. The ceremony marks the culmination of years of hard work, and is a day to celebrate with friends and family.

Share your Edinburgh graduation story with us! We'd love to hear from our graduates, as well as their family and friends. Tag your Instagram photos, tweets and Facebook posts with our graduation celebrations hashtag: #EdinburghGrad

Live video

Our graduation ceremonies will be streamed live on this page. The live stream will become available 10 minutes before each graduation ceremony begins.

Full details of all our graduation ceremonies are available on our Student Administration website.

New graduates

We are you

Graduation can be exciting and daunting in equal measure, but you continue to be part of the University of Edinburgh community of alumni who can support you.

We know that it's always good to hear from those who've been there, so we've taken the burning questions you are asking yourself and put them to a selection of recent graduates who have made various life journeys since their time at Edinburgh.

What's your Edinburgh song?

We asked some of our graduates and alumni to think of a song that reminds them of their time as a student here. Their answers might surprise you!
