Graduations are the highlight of the Imperial College London year, where we can all come together to celebrate the achievements of our graduating students.
Traditionally, graduation days are held twice a year. Graduation Day occurs in the summer term, while Commemoration Day is held in the autumn term.
Currently, the graduation ceremonies take place at the Royal Albert Hall, where they have been celebrated for more than 60 years.
