Graduation gowning and photography

You will collect your gown on the day of the ceremony at The Barbican. 

For this, you will need to present the booking reference number to the gowning staff from Ede & Ravenscroft. 

The gown collection opens two hours prior to the ceremony to allow time to take photos.  

Professional photography by Ede & Ravenscroft is available on the day at the Barbican. 

We highly recommend that you book and pay for your photography in advance to reduce wait times, this will include a £7 delivery fee for pictures to be sent to your chosen address. 

If for whatever reason you did not have the chance to take your graduation photographs before the ceremony, you can get them done after, but there may be a larger queue.

Please note the photography studio will close at 4:15pm.

After the event

After the event (24 - 48 hours after) you will be sent a link to the photography ordering portal from Ede & Ravenscroft. 

There you can review photos and select the image for each product you have ordered. If you have not received an email with a link within 72 hours of your event taking place, please fill out the contact form below.

Award presentation photography

Ede & Ravenscroft are also now offering award presentation photography. They will photograph each graduate as they are presented on stage. These can be purchased on the day, at the graduation venue. The prices are as follow:

• Photo only - £10
• Photo in a mount - £20
• If you purchase the photo via the website after the event, the photo will cost £5 plus £7 of postage.

This photograph is uploaded to Ede & Ravenscroft's website, usually within 7-10 working days.

Once ordered, photography products will be delivered within six weeks after the ceremony at which they were taken or four weeks after they were ordered, whichever is the later. 

For full terms and conditions visit the supplier website for Ede & Ravenscroft. 

The University has entered into a concession contract with our current gowning and photography suppliers and receives a commission from the hire and sale of academic dress/photography purchases.
