Graduation 2016: 18-23 July
The big day arrives...congratulations to all of our thousands of students graduating this summer!
The award ceremonies will take place over the 18-23 July, with two ceremonies each day commencing at 11am and 3pm. All ceremonies will be held in the Butterworth Hall.
We'll also be celebrating the recipients of honorary degrees, Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence, and Outstanding Student Contribution Awards, whose awards will be presented during the degree ceremonies.
Vice-Chancellor Stuart Croft said:
Degree ceremonies are a time of immense pride and celebration for all of us. The nervous smiles and grins of sheer joy on people’s faces as they walk onto the stage to receive their awards are wonderful to see. Those grins are well-deserved, I know how hard students work to get to this point, and how exciting their futures will be. I am proud to be able to play a part in their celebrations, and proud to be part of a University that attracts the best students and produces such fantastic graduates."

Travel
As in previous years, we've arranged to reduce the amount of congestion on campus by running a park and ride scheme from Stoneleigh. Car park 2 (next to Bluebell) will be unavailable for staff during graduation week so this scheme can run effectively. Staff parking is available nearby in car park 6 (next to the Health Centre), and there is extra pay and display parking in car park 3 (next to Cryfield). While these measures will greatly reduce the impact of Graduation on campus life, please do be ready for a busier campus over graduation week. You may need to allow extra time for your journey, and we'd advise considering alternatives to parking on campus such as taking the bus, walking or cycling if these are an option for you that week. Don't forget you can take advantage of our Unicycles or use one of our recently enhanced Shuttlebus services to get around campus too. During Graduation, work to improve University Road to support our new Teaching and Learning Building will continue. Traffic management measures will be in place throughout.
