Take part in this year’s winter graduation ceremonies
25 Oct 2023
Join the academic procession to help celebrate our students' achievements
All members of The General Assembly, The Board of Governors, Senate, Emeritus Professors, Residential Life Coordinators, academic and professional services staff are invited to attend our winter graduation ceremonies and take part in the academic procession.
The ceremonies will take place in-person at Whitworth Hall from Monday, 11 December to Friday, 15 December 2023. We’re already looking forward to welcoming the graduating class of winter 2023 onto campus to celebrate their success with family and friends.
Graduation is a significant milestone in every student’s life. It gives them an opportunity to reflect on their time at Manchester and recognise their hard work and achievements. By joining the academic procession and taking part in our ceremonies, it is also a fantastic opportunity for you to help deliver a truly memorable graduation experience for our students.
