2021 Graduation Ceremonies

Given the uncertainties around the pandemic and the UK Government restrictions, UCL has decided to postpone in-person Ceremonies until 2022.

Students who are due to graduate in 2021 will be invited to a Virtual Ceremony.  The virtual ceremonies will take place during July, September and October 2021.

Invitations to register for July 2021 Ceremonies will be sent out week commencing Monday 19 April 2021. Students wishing to attend a virtual ceremony will need to register by Wednesday 12 May by 12 midday.  Final ceremony dates will then be confirmed to students by the end of May.  

Invitations for Autumn Ceremonies will be sent out week commencing Monday 26 July.

For further information on graduation please take a look at the graduation webpage
