Detailed information on ceremony dates, tickets, registration and academic robes can be found on Student Administration's Graduation web pages.
Winter Graduation 2022
Graduation for the School of Biological Sciences' Postgraduate Taught students took place on Saturday 26th November 2022.
Congratulations to all of you on the successful completion of your MSc programme! Although we were thankfully able to offer an almost normal educational experience to you last year, I understand how difficult it must have been for many of you to readjust to in-person learning again, and cope with an intensive programme of study after all the other demands you've faced. You should therefore be especially proud of your achievements during your time here - well done!
