Essentials Your graduation and beyond

Your graduation and beyond

Graduations take place in July and December. Invitations to those expected to attend will be sent in early April for the July ceremonies and mid-October for the December ceremonies. 

Important Information

We are currently planning for the next set of physical ceremonies to go ahead in July 2026, the dates of which have been published below. All students expected to be eligible to graduate will be contacted in late February and asked to complete an Expression of Interest process. The Graduation Office will then publish the Summer 2026 ceremony schedule, based on responses to this process, via the same Graduation dates page below. The Formal Registration Process will launch from early April and run until early May 2026. If you expect to graduate in July 2026 but have not heard from us by Friday 17 April, please email graduation@reading.ac.uk.
