Each graduation day normally starts with a service of thanksgiving in St Salvator's Chapel. Graduation ceremonies take place in the Younger Hall and usually last about one and a half hours. In addition to the graduation of students, one or more honorary degrees are conferred with honorary graduands being introduced by a laureator. There is also a graduation address. Ceremonies begin and end with an academic procession.
New graduates join the procession as it leaves the hall.
The University photographer , Peter Adamson, is available during the graduation period for graduation photographs. If you choose to use another photographer, please be sure to use someone of local repute, as in the past temporary, unofficial operators have set up in the town and failed to deliver satisfactorily. Accommodation is available on request - see the information pack for more information.
