Graduation

Your graduation ceremony is a rite of passage - a significant milestone in your life.

The ceremony signifies that you've completed your studies, as you're led out of the hall and into your future.

It's also a celebration of your achievements to share with family, friends, coursemates and those who have taught and influenced you in your time at the University of Bradford.
