Graduation ceremonies are the time to celebrate the success of students with peers, family and friends
Celebrate the hard work of the Cardiff school graduate this year. Graduation days are dependent on the individual university. Events and activities scheduled throughout the day provide opportunities to meet up with your friends, housemates, coursemates, staff, and all their supporters. Unlike the last few years, the events will be in person.
The ceremonies will run throughout the day from Monday 15 and Friday 26 July 2024. Cardiff University graduations are usually held in St David's Hall in Cardiff city centre, with registration, academic dress collection and official photography taking place in City Hall.
Cardiff Metropolitan Univerisity Graduation 2024 will be held in the Wales Millennium Centre, a short distance from Future Inn Cardiff. The next dates will be between Monday 8 July and Friday 19 July 2024.
Graduation for the Cardiff Campus takes place between 25 - 26 January 2024 at St David's Hall. It is a chance for the university students to celebrate their achievements in the presence of their family, friends and the academic staff who have supported them.
Celebrating one of the greatest days of the students’ lives, their graduation ceremony is taking place for Royal College of Music and Drama on Friday 5 July 2024.
It's time to celebrate all you’ve achieved surrounded by family and friends.
If you or your guests are travelling some distance to attend graduation or wish to spend a few days in Cardiff, there are a number of accommodation options available.
