Graduation ceremony 2019-2020
After years of hard work, you have now earned your well-deserved diploma. And we won’t allow that to go unnoticed, because we are proud to be able to call you a Ghent University alumnus.
Even in times of Covid-19, we plan to organise a befitting send-off. Because of these exceptional circumstances, we will actually have 2 graduation ceremonies: a digital one and also a real-life faculty meeting!
Digital celebration
On Friday 9 October 2020 at 20:30, Ghent University will organise a digital event for all newly graduated alumni. Let’s celebrate together with friends and family, each from the safety of our own homes and ‘bubbles’. We promise we will make this a night to remember.

Physical graduation ceremony
Putting on your gown and cap is a unique milestone in your life. Because we would love to see you again, the faculty will organise a real-life, face-to-face gathering. The official faculty graduation ceremony will take place during the weekend of 17-18 October 2020 in the Ufo (Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 33, 9000 Gent). You can find all the scheduled sessions below.
Registration
Please register here for the official faculty graduation ceremony. (Deadline: 11 October!)
