The ceremony at which you graduate depends on the degree subjects you have been studying.

In the case of joint degrees, your subjects are listed in alphabetical order in your student record, and you will graduate with the School of the first subject. For example, if you are studying for an MA Honours in International Relations and Modern History, you will graduate with the School of International Relations.

Postgraduate degrees will be conferred alongside undergraduate degrees within the same School.

Postgraduate taught students who started their course in September 2022 will graduate in November.
