Schedule of Ceremonies

Schedule of Ceremonies

The upcoming ceremonies will take place in Chester Cathedral from Tuesday 3^rd - Friday 6^th November 2026.

Students with qualifying awards up to and including 10^th September 2026 will be invited to attend.

Students eligible to attend the Graduation ceremonies will be contacted with further details of how and when to register to attend.

If you are unsure which department you belong to, the registration form will confirm which ceremony you have been allocated 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 department structures below may have changed from the time of study. 

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