Graduation in pictures 2023

Publication date:

Congratulations class of 2023

As the sun sets on one chapter, the next one is just beginning. Marked with the ceremonial donning of caps and gowns, graduation is a time to reflect on the journey you've travelled to get here and on all the memories you've made along the way. 

Graduation day is always a highlight in the Ravensbourne calendar, and this year was no different. Against the backdrop of London's dramatic Barbican, we celebrated the achievements of another incredible cohort of students. 

A massive thank you to our graduate Ben Peters and current BA (Hons) Digital Photography student Jaydendra Patel for capturing the day in pictures.
