Information for Graduating Students

An e-mail invitation with a link to the sign up form will be sent in March 2026 to all students expected to graduate this spring with a degree from a master's programme with English language instruction.

Information for Guests

Guests, staff, and non-graduating students are welcome to attend the ceremony but need to sign-up to that we can plan accordingly.

Due to limited seating capacity in Aula Nordica, we will distribute information about guest attendance after we know how many students have signed up to participate in the ceremony.

Further information will be available in mid-April.
