The celebration events, involving 2022 postgraduates and undergraduates, ran alongside the formal ceremony in the Wills Memorial Building. They were a great opportunity for staff from the School as well as friends and family to come together to celebrate our students' fantastic achievements.

They were also a chance to honour some of our 2022 award winners and for the Head of School, Professor Karen West, to present the awards to those who were able to attend. 

Professor West said: "We are very proud of our students and their amazing achievements. It has been fantastic to see them progress and, through our graduation events in particular, to be able to celebrate what they have achieved during their time with us. They are a great credit to the School and the University and we wish them all the best with their next chapter."
