About Graduation at Hull

It all builds up to this

Graduation is the crowning event of your academic studies; a day when you can look back on your years of hard work with a sense of real achievement. The highs, the lows, the late nights in the library – they all lead to here.

Summer Graduation will take place on Monday 13 July to Thursday 16 July at the Connexin Live arena.
