Eligibility

Undergraduate and postgraduate students who are eligible to attend graduation will be invited via email.

If you are expecting to successfully complete your course, and providing that you have no outstanding debts to Ravensbourne (including library fines), you will be eligible to attend your graduation ceremony. If you are uncertain about your eligibility, please email Registry.

Graduands

All graduand tickets are free of charge and include a complimentary programme, and a glass of prosecco or soft drink.

You will receive an email invitation by the end of July for the October ceremonies and the end of September for the December ceremonies. Those with retrievals will be invited later in October / November once their grades are confirmed. The email will provide details on how to register for the ceremony and book guest tickets, photography, and gowns via Ede & Ravenscroft’s graduation services. Please ensure you have your Student ID number as it will ask for this. 

Guests

Guest tickets are £25 each. All tickets include a complimentary glass of prosecco or soft drink.

Each graduand is allocated two guest tickets to purchase during the first release of tickets. Any unsold guest tickets will be available to purchase in a secondary release of tickets. These tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis and you will be notified by email when these become available. The sale of guest tickets online will close two weeks before your ceremony date.

More guest tickets will be available to buy on the day of Graduation at the Barbican. They will be at the same price as the online sale, £25 per guest ticket, and will also include a complimentary glass of prosecco or soft drink. No cash or contactless payments (including smartphones and smartwatches) will be accepted, please make sure to bring your debit or credit card.
