Students due to collect two awards at January 2022 ceremonies:

Due to the exceptional nature of these ceremonies we understand some students may be eligible to receive two awards. If you are eligible to receive two awards at these ceremonies then please let us know by completing the relevant information when asked during the booking process for your graduation ceremony. We recommend that you book for the ceremony related to your highest award and select the gown type related to your highest award when making your booking i.e. if you are due to receive both a BSc and a MSc please select MSc for your gown and book to attend the ceremony for MSc students within your school. If you have any questions about this then please contact graduation@qmul.ac.uk. Please note it is the responsibility of the student to let the Events and Ceremonies Team know about their dual award acceptance at the point of booking.

What your ticket includes:

• Entry to the Graduation Ceremony at Tobacco Dock.  
• A souvenir ceremony programme for each ticket-holder. 
• Entry to the reception held after the ceremony where drinks and food are served.

For those guests that we cannot fit into the ceremony, we offer tickets to watch the ceremony live on a screen in a nearby room. Live relay tickets are available at the reduced price of £15 and allows entry for one adult plus up to two children 5 or under years of age.
