Guest tickets can be purchased through the online booking system. Each ticket costs £12.50 plus a booking fee and includes entry to the ceremony, as well as access to celebration drinks and light refreshments afterwards.
Graduating students do not require a ticket to attend their ceremony. However, all guests must have a valid ticket - those without tickets will not be admitted.
Before you buy, please check which ceremony you will attend - dates and times, along with the degrees are listed on the website.
Each graduating student is entitled to purchase up to two protected guest tickets.
To purchase these tickets, you must:
- Log into the online ticket system
- Select the protected ticket option for your ceremony date and time
- Use your assigned Ticket Code to complete the purchase (this code will be emailed to graduating students on Tuesday 29 April prior to tickets going on sale. - please check your email and junk folders.)
Your code is unique to you and should not be shared with anyone else.
Only students who are graduating will be able to purchase tickets. Protected tickets must be purchased by Thursday, 26 June 2025. Any unclaimed tickets will be released for general sale after this date.
A limited number of additional guest tickets may be available. These can be found under the general sale option for each ceremony date in the online ticket system.
