Photos and merchandise


 

A wide range of merchandise and keep-sakes will be available for purchase on the day, alongside the free memorabilia you will recieve in the ceremony, such as your scroll. Photography will be available, with both professional portrait studios set up in the Windsor Building, and ceremony photography of every graduate when they are presented to the Presiding Officer and departmental photographs. Full ceremony videos will also be available. 

We highly reccommend that graduands arrive two hours before their ceremony to reigster and, once gowned, visit the photography and merchandise stands before their ceremony.

The Graduation Map will be available closer to July, showing the locations of the merchandise stands, florist, and photography studios.
