Graduation

Graduation is a special occasion where UEA celebrates the hard work and success of our graduating students.

To be eligible to graduate from your study programme, your name must appear on a pass list approved by the University’s Senate by 3 July 2025, and you must ensure you have fulfilled all academic related financial obligations to the university. This means that your tuition fees must have been paid in full no later than 27 June 2025.

Summer graduates will receive their certificate by post after their official conferment date. Please allow up to 6 weeks for printing and delivery.

Postgraduate Research Student Eligibility

For PGR students to be eligible for Summer Graduation they must have:

Completed their viva
Received the outcome and any details of corrections
Completed, submitted and received sign off on any corrections required
Submitted the final electronic copy of the thesis
Received a final pass list
Paid any debts due to the University

The final electronic copy of the thesis must be submitted to the Postgraduate Research Service by a specific date, normally around a month before the Graduation Office deadline, so that the final internal checks can be completed, and the pass list issued. For Summer Graduation the deadline date for submission is 30 May 2025.

The Postgraduate Research Service will communicate the date directly to all researchers they believe are eligible. Please contact your Postgraduate Research Service team if you have any questions about this process.

Any advance arrangements regarding your own and/or your party’s travel or accommodation to your summer celebration are made at your own risk.
