Graduates Celebrate Success

It was smiles all round on Wednesday 24th October as our 2012 graduates celebrated receiving their hard-earned MEng degrees.

Graduates, friends and family descended on the Department on Wednesday 24th October to celebrate Commemoration Day, Imperial College's annual day of graduation ceremonies which take place at the Albert Hall.

Following the ceremony (which you can see some pictures and videos of on the College's news site), our recently-graduated final year students came to a very busy reception at the Department for drinks and food, where Professor Livingston announced the winners of this year's prizes (a full list of which can be seen below).
