Graduation Dates
In order to have officially graduated from the University of Oxford, your degree must be conferred to you, either in person or in absentia (having your name read out) at a University graduation ceremony held in the Sheldonian Theatre.
Regent’s Park’s graduation ceremonies and celebrations take place every March and September and consist of two events – a celebratory reception at Regent’s Park, followed by the official graduation ceremony at the Sheldonian.
The University has allocated graduation ceremony dates for Regent’s Park graduands for the 2023-2024 academic year:
Saturday, 23 September 2023 at 16:15 (BST)
Saturday 2nd March 2024 at 13:30 (BST)
