To attend the graduation ceremony you simply need to reserve your gown with specialist gowning company Ede & Ravenscroft. You must wear the gown they supply to attend the ceremony. Ede & Ravenscroft also offer a professional photography service that you can also book when you reserve your gown.
The Ede & Ravenscroft website and phonelines will open for bookings in May. We will send you details closer to the time.
A souvenir DVD of our graduation ceremony 2012 is now available from our online store priced at £15 plus £1.30 for UK postage.
Watch the DVD trailer on YouTube.
The DVD features every graduate receiving their award on stage in the stunning surroundings of Leeds Town Hall. Extra footage gives a charming narrative to the day with shots of the build up to the ceremony in gowning and photography, and post ceremony celebrations with family and friends.
The DVD is of high quality and runs for 90 minutes approximately.
Tickets
Graduates and guests will need a ticket to attend the ceremony. Graduate tickets are free of charge. In addition each graduate will be allocated two free guest tickets. Tickets will not be sent in the post, they will be available for collection upon arrival at the Town Hall on the day.
When you book your gown with Ede & Ravenscroft, your ticket and your two guest tickets will automatically be reserved.
Extra Guest Tickets
There may be a limited amount of extra tickets available for sale once everyone who wants to attend the ceremony has booked. If tickets do become available you will be notified by letter, and they will be sold on a first come first served basis from our online store in October.
If you complete your degree in June 2013 you will be invited to the graduation ceremony on Friday 6 December 2013.
The graduation ceremony is a special occasion where you can formally celebrate all the hard work you put into achieving your degree. We have one ceremony each year, which means you get to celebrate with friends from every course in the College. It will be a pleasurable event that you, your family, programme friends and tutors can remember for many years to come.
You will receive your degree certificate on stage from the College Principal, hear from a leading creative industry professional and celebrate afterwards with a glass of bubbly.
The graduation ceremony will take place on Friday 6 December 2013. The doors to the Town Hall will open at 9am and the ceremony starts at 11.30am. We recommend that you arrive at least an hour and a half before the ceremony is due to commence to allow time for the fitting of your gown and photography.
When you arrive at the Town Hall please enter through the main entrance up the wide flight of stone steps on the Headrow.
If you are travelling by car there are a number of multi-story car parks within 5 minutes walk and some pay-and-display on-street parking around the Town Hall. If you are arriving by coach or train the Town Hall is no more than a ten minute walk from both stations. To help orientate yourself see the visitor guide that shows the Town Hall, car parks and stations.
