Graduates mark achievements

Our newest graduating class have marked their achievements, with 6734 students celebrating their degree successes in 17 ceremonies.

The ceremonies took place between 2 and 6 September 2024 at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, with 20,000 guests supporting the graduates.

Students from all faculties all crossed the stage last week. 

The Southbank Centre was buzzing as graduates from around the world marked their achievements amongst friends, family and staff.

UCL also awarded four Honorary Doctorates and admitted three people to our Honorary Fellowship, in honour of their outstanding work, advocacy and philanthropy. Read more about our Honorary Awards on the UCL Alumni website.

Kirsty Walker, UCL’s Vice-President (External Engagement) said: “It is always a highlight of the year to see our wonderful students graduate and for the entire UCL community to come together to celebrate. We know reaching this moment has been a team effort, and it was great to thank everyone involved in our students’ success, from our academic staff, professional services staff and all friends, family and supporters cheering them on. 

“We look forward to staying in touch with our Class of 2024 Alumni and seeing what incredible things they go on to do in the world.”

Antara Basu graduated in BSc Politics and International Relations. Antara commented: "My time at UCL has been wonderful and being able to graduate with my friends and family present was absolutely incredible. The UCL community is excellent, and the warmth and support here have always been a highlight for me. And a huge shoutout to our very own graduation teddy Jeremy Bear-tham for livening up the ceremony!"
