On Wednesday 16 March, in-person graduation celebrations were held for our 2020 and 2021 cohorts, who had their graduation ceremonies online due to the pandemic. 

The ceremony took place at London’s ExCel Centre in East London. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by UCL President and Provost Dr Michael Spence, followed by a speech by Professor Piet Eeckhout (Dean of UCL Laws). He said:

“I speak for everyone in the Faculty here when I say that we are incredibly impressed every year when we see the tremendous talent, commitment and hard work of our students. We are privileged to have been your teachers and we congratulate you all on your enormous achievement.”
