Huge congratulations to all our Winter 2024 graduates!

Congratulations to all our Winter 2024 graduates!

It was wonderful to mark this special day for our postgraduate students with a gathering inside our beautiful building after the ceremony at McEwan Hall. We were thrilled that a number of our online students were able to join the in-person celebrations, along with our students, staff and our Honorary Degree recipient, climate justice activist Vanessa Nakate.

We are so proud of all our graduates, and we’re excited to see them out there changing the world!
