Graduation Ceremony 2024

The School holds one annual graduation ceremony every December for all awards made between January - December. It is a momentous day in the School calendar where many congregate to celebrate the hard work of the graduands with their friends and family. We also celebrate the School and its achievements within the education sector and the arts industries over the preceding 12 months.

Time and location

Graduation Ceremony 2024 will take place on Wednesday 4th December 2024 at the Royal Festival Hall (RFH) on London’s South Bank.

The Royal Festival Hall venue will be open for your event which will finish by 17:00. All attendees can use the venue’s public spaces afterwards. We expect the ceremony to last for 1h30 with exact start and end times to be confirmed. 

Livestream

It is expected that the ceremony will be streamed for viewing online.

Note that only the names of graduands in attendance to process on stage will be read out. 

Graduands

Booking for all tickets and academic dress will open in September. Graduands will be sent their login credentials in an invitation email to their @cssd email. Ede & Ravenscroft are the School’s preferred provider of academic dress hire but graduands can hire or purchase their dress from other companies.

Students can view examination board, completion and graduation information on the Student Handbook.

All graduands must be wearing academic dress to process on stage as part of the ceremony.

Guests

Guests are able to select and buy tickets directly with the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre.

There is no limit to the number of paid Guest Tickets available to each graduand party except for when the full capacity limit of the Royal Festival Hall auditorium is reached.

Guests are not seated with graduands.

Honorands

At the ceremony, the School makes honorary fellowship and honorary degree presentations before taught and research degree awards are presented by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London. We very much hope that all graduands and their guests will be able to join us in celebrating the successes of the year.
