Celebrating our graduates making a difference

15 Dec 2023

Each year, over 17,000 of our students graduate, many of whom are already making contributions to our city and beyond through healthcare, education and protecting the natural environment

Winter graduation took place between Monday, 11 and Friday 15 December. Over 4,000 students graduated during the week, receiving postgraduate research, postgraduate taught, masters’ and undergraduate awards. Many were in disciplines such as nursing, international development, public policy and environmental sustainability.

Since our University’s foundation, social responsibility and delivering civic impact has been at the heart of our values and our students play a huge role in this. Our students make an active contribution to the social responsibility, civic engagement and the sustainable development of society – locally, nationally and internationally.

We asked our students how they hope to go on and make a difference after winter graduation:

With over 45,000 students and 550,000 alumni, who we educate, how we deliver teaching, learning and the student experience and what our graduates go on to do as future citizens and professionals play a major role in creating a fairer, more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
