Postgraduate Research Students

Postgraduate research degree students should note that their full examination process and submission of hardbound thesis must be complete, in order for them to appear on a pass list and be eligible to attend Congregation.

Research students should seek advice from their School or Research Student Support Team in King’s Gate Building to find out whether they are likely to appear on a pass list in time for the ceremony.
