The University's Communications Team is keen to hear about students graduating this November with an interesting story to tell, and who would be willing to be featured in the media and on the University website.

- Mature students who have juggled family life / switched career
- Against the odds - a degree gained in adversities
- Graduates about to embark on an exciting new venture, for example high profile career start / round-the-world trip
- Family connections for example generations of Aberdeen graduates, relations of University staff, twins·
- Graduates who have enjoyed success in an extra-curricular activity during their student career eg sport, student politics, music
- Local connections – for example groups of friends from the same home town / best friends from school graduating
- Graduate couple who met during studies and are planning a future together
