Graduation

Celebrate your achievements

Graduation is a proud and exciting milestone. It’s a time to look back on all your university achievements and celebrate with the people who supported you along your journey.

Your graduation day is about more than the ceremony itself. It marks the end of your time as a student and the moment you officially celebrate becoming part of our global Herts alumni community. It’s a day where you can pause, reflect, and enjoy everything you’ve worked towards.

Before the big day arrives, it’s worth reading through this section carefully. There are a few important steps you’ll need to complete, and a quick check now will help everything come together smoothly.

Our February 2027 ceremonies will take place between the 15 – 25 February 2027. The deadline to register is 12 noon (UK time) on 13 January 2027. You must register by this deadline to attend.
