Graduation Tickets

Main Campus
Guest Tickets
For those attending your graduation ceremony, you will be allocated two guest tickets. Please note that you do not require a ticket for yourself.
Additionally, we offer an option to watch the ceremony live in a nearby venue adjacent to Bute Hall, where our ceremonies traditionally take place. Tickets for this venue will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. Please inform us of your ticket requirements during your Registration in Hunter Halls.
Guests who choose to watch the live broadcast will enjoy an excellent view of the ceremony, including close-up moments as each graduand is presented with their degree.
For those with children in attendance, please be aware that children are allowed at our graduation ceremonies, but they must possess a ticket, and they should be accompanied by an appropriate adult.
Ticket Collection
You can collect your guest tickets on the day of your graduation during the registration process.
It's important to note that the University cannot accept liability for any actual or alleged loss arising from the unavailability of extra tickets. Furthermore, the University does not take responsibility for the replacement of lost, damaged, or stolen tickets.
