Award ceremony

Award ceremony

The Department's annual award ceremony takes place at the Sheldonian Theatre in the spring. The event marks students' completion of the Department's non-matriculated award-bearing courses. Students travel from around the world to attend the ceremony. 

For students due to complete their courses in 2022, the date of the ceremony is Wednesday 22 March, 2023.

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.
