Important: Postponement of the Graduation Celebration Evening

Due to the cornonavirus (COVID-19), the University of London has decided to postpone the graduation ceremony for students of our distance and flexible learning programmes which was scheduled to take place in London on 3 March at the Barbican Centre. Our international student community, along with friends and family, scheduled to attend the ceremony consists of some 4,000 attendees from over 100 countries.

With this in mind, we are also rescheduling the Graduation Celebration Evening event, which was due to take place on the evening of 3 March at Senate House.
