This summer over 2500 students will graduate from the University of Brighton, with qualifications ranging from diplomas to degrees to doctorates.
The university’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir David Watson and the Chairman of the Board of Governors Sir Michael Checkland will present the awards at ceremonies on 27, 28, 29 and 30 July at the Brighton Dome.
Sir David said, "Awards ceremonies are very special days for the university. They provide the one occasion on which everything stops, and we concentrate on recognising the efforts and celebrating the achievements of everyone who works in and for the university.
"We do this most obviously by applauding the success of those who have achieved degrees and other awards. But we also acknowledge that in some important ways our graduates and diplomates are our representatives.
"They reflect what we are all striving for. I congratulate all of today’s graduates, and I welcome them to the next stage of their careers as life-long learners."
