The upcoming ceremonies will take place on the following dates: 

  • Thursday 21st September: University Centre Shrewsbury graduands (award dates up to 8th September 2023) in St Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury.
  • Tuesday 31st October – Friday 3rd November: All Chester graduands (award dates up to 5th October 2023) in Chester Cathedral 

Those receiving awards after 5th October 2023 and before 15th February 2024 will graduate at the ceremonies taking place on 14th-15th March 2024.

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 department structures below may have changed from the time of study.
