Alumni Honorary Awards Degree Ceremony

Alumni Honorary Graduation Ceremony - 1 September 2012

The Alumni Honorary Graduation Ceremony will take place on Saturday 1 September 2012. Thank you to all those who have booked to receive their honorary award. The deadline for this was Friday 4 May.

More information will be sent to all those who are attending the ceremony nearer to the time of the event.

Booking your tickets
The deadline for booking was 4 May 2012.

Cost of the tickets
The cost of tickets is a reflection of the actual costs incurred by the University. Tickets for the Cathedral are £30 per person, including the recipient of the honorary award. This price includes transport to and from the Cathedral; a contribution towards the hire of the Cathedral; a graduation programme; and refreshments after the ceremony.

Live broadcast tickets are £15 per person. This ticket permits people to view the ceremony from lecture theatres at our St John’s Campus. The price includes a contribution towards the cost of the live broadcast from the Cathedral; a graduation programme; and refreshments after the ceremony.

The honorary award is a fitting way of recognising the contribution that students from 1946-1977 made to the former Worcester Colleges. None of this would have been possible without the strong foundations built by staff and students of the former Worcester Colleges.

Ceremonies
The ceremonies have been divided according to year of graduation, with people who completed their education at Worcester between 1969 and 1977 attending the 10.30am ceremony; and people who completed their education at Worcester between 1946 and 1968 attending the 2pm ceremony. The timings for the day are outlined in the information pack.

Please come to the University’s St John’s Campus before your graduation ceremony.

Robe hire
Honorary graduands will need to order their robes prior to the event, from Northam & Company Ltd. The University of Worcester uses Northam & Company Ltd for all its graduation ceremonies. You can place your order by calling 0870 2401852 (opening hours are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday). Robes should be ordered as soon as possible.
