Schedule of Ceremonies

The upcoming ceremonies will take place in Chester Cathedral on Wednesday, 25th and Thursday, 26th March 2026.

Those receiving qualifying awards by February 18th 2026, will be invited to attend.

The booking form will confirm which ceremony you have been allocated to, so please log in there if you are unsure which department you belong to. Joint honours students will always go to the ceremony for the subject they majored in. If the subjects are equally weighted, the first subject alphabetically determines the ceremony (e.g. a Biology and French student would graduate with Biological Sciences). Students cannot choose which department they graduate with.
Please note that department structures below may have changed from the time of study.

You will not be able to register until your award has been confirmed.
