Graduation tickets

This page provides information about booking and collecting the tickets to your graduation ceremony.

If you are attending your ceremony, you can book up to two free guest tickets, in addition to your own ticket. Please note that tickets are non-transferable.

Book your tickets

You can book your tickets via the graduation Registration Portal when it opens.

If you plan to attend your ceremony, you can request up to two free guest tickets while registering for graduation. Subject to availability, there may be a small number of additional chargeable guest tickets (at £10.00 per ticket—see Purchasing extra guest tickets below). 

All guests other than children under 12 months old will require a ticket.

Collect your tickets

You can pick up your ceremony tickets from the registration point, the Sports Centre, on the day of your ceremony.

We will send you information about the registration point by email in good time before your ceremony. We will also contact you if any more guest tickets become available nearer to the ceremonies. 

  • Please note that these tickets are non-transferrable
  • We are not able to provide your tickets any further in advance.

You can check what tickets you have been allocated at any time in the graduation Registration Portal.

Purchasing extra guest tickets

A small number of additional guest tickets may be released for your graduation ceremony after the graduation portal has closed for registrations. These extra guest tickets will be sold at the registration point, the Sports Centre, on the day of your ceremony. Please note that these tickets are non-transferrable.

Please note that additional guest tickets are offered on a first come, first served basis, and that additional guest tickets may not be available for all ceremonies.

  • If additional guest tickets become available for your ceremony, they will cost £10 per ticket
  • Unfortunately, we are not able to maintain a waiting list for extra guest tickets.

Please be aware that for some ceremonies, due to capacity issues, no extra tickets will be made available.

Watch our live-stream

If you are unable to get extra tickets, don't worry! All of our graduation ceremonies are streamed live. 

All ceremonies will be streamed live on our website and will also be shown live on campus in The Courtyard in the Guild of Students. You do not need a ticket to watch the live-stream.
