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. Registration is not necessary. However, due to limited seating in Aula Nordica, we cannot guarantee seats for all attendees.

To help ensure that as many guests as possible can be accommodated, we ask students not to invite large groups. While up to four guests are allowed, we strongly recommend inviting no more than two guests. Unfortunately, the venue does not have enough capacity to support larger parties.

For anyone unable to attend in person, the entire ceremony will be streamed live on video, allowing all friends and family to follow the event remotely at www.umu.se/live/
