Plymouth Marjon Graduation

Graduation is your Moment to Shine

This special occasion will take place in the beautiful Minster Church of St Andrew, Plymouth and in light of our growing student community,  graduation will take place across two dates:

• Autumn Graduation: 26–28 October 2026 
• Spring Graduation: 15–16 February 2027

This will ensure an excellent student experience where every student has the opportunity to graduate with their cohort.

Graduation is a celebration of your achievement, by not going it 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.

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. 

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 Abbey Hall (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.
