Graduation

Find out everything you need to know about completing your course of study, receiving your academic documents and how to prepare for your graduation ceremony.

The ceremony of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas and certificates is a time-honoured ritual performed at academic institutions throughout the world.

Graduation ceremonies at the University of Divinity honour the University’s academic excellence, collegiate structure and Christian traditions. At the ceremony, each attending graduand’s name and award is read out and the graduand is presented with their academic documents by the Chancellor or a deputy.

All ceremonies are open to all eligible students of the University.
