Graduation

Graduation day is a moment of celebration after many months and years of hard work and dedication. It’s also the start of the next chapter of your journey, both in life and as a member of our Surrey community. 

This is SURREY'S GREATEST SHOW - and you are at the heart of it. 

We are proud of the way we can use our wonderful campus as a backdrop for memories that last a lifetime. Your graduation experience is made up of three once in a lifetime events: 

Your degree conferment ceremony

Join hundreds of your fellow graduands and their guests inside Guildford's iconic Cathedral (by kind permission of the Dean and Chapter and is used as a secular building on these occasions). Take the famous walk onto the main stage to collect your scroll and doff your cap - the moment that you officially become a Surrey graduate in front of your proud family and friends. 

We guarantee one ticket for you and up to two guests.   All tickets need to be booked and guest tickets may be subject to a charge. You can apply for additional tickets as part of the booking process. Your request will be confirmed via email if capacity allows. 

Your celebratory reception 

The Greatest Show continues in The Marquee with all graduands invited to attend a free vintage circus-themed reception. Family and friends can also join in the fun with guest tickets available at £25 per person* (free for under 12s). 

Guests can look forward to a delicious afternoon tea, unlimited refreshments, complimentary candy floss and pick 'n' mix, as well as brilliant photo opportunities, live entertainment and a fantastic atmosphere. 

This memorable event is for all the family, so make sure you have your guest tickets booked so they can help you to create lasting memories of your time at Surrey.
