Graduation
Graduation and celebration of success and achievement
Graduation is a special day when you get to celebrate your achievements with friends and family. It’s also a special day for our staff, who are incredibly proud of you.
This event is open to all higher education students leaving UHI Inverness this summer. This includes students who have been awarded as well as students who will be awarded later because of delays caused by current industrial action. We want to make sure all students can celebrate their achievements with their classmates.
Our ceremony will take place on Friday 6th October 2023 at the Free North Church, Bank Street, Inverness.
There will be two ceremonies on the day and eligible students have been contacted by email and asked to register for the ceremony specific to their subject area.
