Our booking system will open at 12 noon today (3 August 2021) and you will receive an invitation giving full details of how to book your place at your graduation ceremony. Invites will be sent via email and we will release further details through all of our usual communications channels, so please make sure you check in with our student webpages and social media channels regularly. Please do not make any travel or accommodation arrangements at this stage.

Please make sure you check your junk folder if you are expecting an email from us and can't see one in your inbox.

For students who would usually be graduating in July 2021, that is, have successfully passed their course since 1 December 2020 and received their results by 15 July 2021, we are planning a full in-person ceremony to take place from the week commencing Monday 15 November 2021 through to Saturday 20 November. For students who have not passed their course by this deadline due to resits or deferrals, you will be invited to your graduation ceremony in January 2022 and we will release more information about this very soon.

Our ceremonies will take place in spectacular style at the award-winning Curve Theatre in Leicester in the heart of the city’s vibrant Cultural Quarter. 

*Please note that November ceremonies will take place subject to prevailing UK Government national and/or local guidance in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic and large scale indoor events and our assessment of risk regarding the safety of the 51Âþ»­ graduation community. As such we recommend that you do not make any non-refundable travel or accommodation bookings and respectfully remind our students and guests of their responsibility for all bookings made in these circumstances.

If the University’s graduation ceremonies are postponed due to Covid-19 we will notify all graduands as soon as feasibly possible and will keep all social media channels regularly updated.
