*Attendance at a graduation ceremony is subject to finalising registration on the graduation portal and your degree being conferred, if it hasn't been already. Please note that the expression of interest on Portico is not the final registration, and you must complete further steps in order to attend. We highly recommend to not book any travel or make arrangements until your award has been confirmed and you have booked a student ticket on the graduation portal.
Some Postgraduate (PG) courses will also graduate in the Undergraduate (UG) ceremonies, for students who have undertaken and passed reassessment.
