Continuing Education Award Ceremony

Annual ceremony at the Sheldonian Theatre

For students who complete non-matriculated award-bearing courses

The Department's annual Award Ceremony takes place at the Sheldonian Theatre in March and May. These events are the culmination of the student experience on our non-matriculated award-bearing courses, and many students travel from around the world to attend their ceremony.

Matriculated students (receiving Master's and DPhils) attend a graduation ceremony with their college instead. Please contact your College Administrator for further details about your college graduation ceremony.
