Find out the latest information and advice for students who have graduated in  Summer 2020, Winter 2020 and Summer 2021. We will keep these FAQs updated with any new information as it becomes available.

Will there be a future in-person ceremony for graduates whose ceremonies couldn’t go ahead?

Update & ApproveYes, we are pleased to confirm that we are very much looking forward to creating a truly memorable occasion for you next year, with a full ceremony here in Manchester. These ceremonies will take place in either Spring 2022 or Summer 2022, with exact time frames for individual cohorts still to be determined, taking into consideration the latest government advice at the time. 

These rescheduled ceremonies will be for:

• graduates of the Class of 2020, who missed out on the opportunity to attend their graduation ceremonies in July and December last year, and;

• those who are due to graduate this summer.

The rescheduled ceremonies to be held next year will run in addition to the usual, scheduled ceremonies that will also be running, for our Class of 2022. We will continue to update these FAQs and contact you as these further details come together. 

How will you let me know about future graduation plans?
