Student and graduate stories

Your Graduation​​​​​​​

The University of Sunderland in London holds three graduation points throughout the academic year. These are normally in November, February and June. 

Your graduation ceremony marks the culmination of all your hard work as your award is formally confirmed.

The ceremony is a celebration of all of our graduating students’ achievements and we aim to make it an unforgettable day for you and your family.

Graduation ceremonies are held at Southwark Cathedral. 

All ceremonies are presided over by the Chancellor, Pro-Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor or Deputy Vice-Chancellor. They follow the procession party out at the start of each ceremony and personally congratulate every graduation student on the stage.

Once you graduate you automatically become a member of the University’s Alumni Association and will have access to a whole range of benefits and services. Join our online community.
