Falmouth University plays host to one of the highlights of the academic year and a day to remember for you and your family – graduation, where you are formally awarded your degree.

This page will be updated with all the information you need to be fully prepared for your graduation ceremony, as well as what to expect on the day. If you have queries about your graduation you can contact graduation@falmouth.ac.uk

Graduation 2021: Coronavirus

We know how much graduation means and that it is an important moment to recognise achievements and celebrate with family, friends and academic teams.

The University has been working closely with the Students' Union to understand the options for 2021 and we are grateful for their support in this decision-making process and agreement with the outcome.

Although the Government has established its roadmap out of lockdown, as we have heard from the Prime Minister recently, there is still too much uncertainty around the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions for us to plan and deliver an in-person graduation event this summer.

Consequently, and because we know a physical event is preferable for a lot of our students, we are rescheduling the in-person ceremonies for 2020 and 2021 alumni for summer 2022, should the pandemic permit.

We are also hosting an online graduation event this July for all our 2020 and 2021 students who have completed their awards. This will not delay your degree certificate from reaching you, all students graduating this year will get their physical award certificate this summer.

All affected students and graduates have received an email from the Vice Chancellor to confirm this plan. We will contact them at the earliest opportunity to confirm details for these events.
