Graduation

Graduation, will take place on Monday 27, Tuesday 28 & Wednesday 29 October 2025 at the Minster Church of St Andrew, Plymouth.

Graduation is a celebration of your achievement, and does not affect you having your degree, your ability to start work, or to start a postgraduate course.

Please note certificates are sent out and not presented at the ceremony, so make sure your contact details are up to date.

Ceremonies are also livestreamed so everyone can celebrate on Marjon Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/MarjonUni/   (The live stream will begin as the ceremony starts.) 

Could you be a Student Speaker? 

As we have done before, we would very much like to invite a Student Speaker to speak at each of our graduation ceremonies. 

In this role, you will sit on the main stage, and address your fellow graduands with a short speech, celebrating your time at Marjon and looking forward to the future. Many Student Speakers reflect on their own personal journey of growth and how far they have come. Because we will have multiple ceremonies we could be looking for a larger number of speakers.

If you are interested, please contact the Student Union directly (marjonsu@marjon.ac.uk).

Things to remember:

1. You collect your guest tickets from registration when you arrive at your graduation. Please note you cannot purchase guest tickets on the day.
2. You need to hire your gown in advance and then collect it from The Drake Room (follow the signs or ask event staff), before your graduation ceremony.
3. Official photographs are available. It is possible to book on the day booking although it is advised you book in advance to avoid the queues.
4. Please keep an eye on your emails and return to this webpage for further updates.
5. Ensure you keep your contact details updated via the student portal or by contacting student records.
