It is essential in many cases to apply to graduate before you receive formal notification of your results. However, if you do not receive notification of your award by 6 June 2025 (23:59 UK Time), you will not graduate this Summer. Your application will automatically become void and you will be refunded for any monies paid. This also applies to applications to graduate in absentia.
The deadline date for applications is 16 May 2025. Late applications will not be accepted.
Check the date and time of your graduation ceremony and ensure that you arrive at the arrival time stated.
