What is going on during the day?

Your graduation ceremony is one of the biggest days of your University career. It is the culmination of all the hard work during your time at the University of Sunderland. It is also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your achievements with the University, fellow graduates, family and friends. 

Once you graduate you automatically become a member of the University's Alumni Association, a worldwide network of over 123,000 former students.

This year, the whole city is getting behind graduates like you and showing their pride in the achievements of our students. Look out for the huge banner on the Wearmouth Bridge as a thank you from us for your hard work!

Share your photos of the day and any messages using our hashtag #HawaytheGrads.

Keep connected by adding the Alumni Association on FacebookTwitter and LinkedIn, where we’ll keep you updated about all goings-on at the University and on how your fellow alumni are doing. 

The alumni team will be there on your special day. Check out what you have to look forward to on the day:
