These ceremonies are a tribute to the students’ hard work and dedication, providing a moment for the entire University community to honour their impressive achievements.

Professor Elwen Evans, KC, Vice-Chancellor of UWTSD, expressed the significance of the occasion: “Graduation gives us the opportunity to come together as an academic community to celebrate our graduates’ success and to share that success with family and friends. The qualifications that you have all achieved are recognised internationally and are your passport to the world—a world that needs your skills, your energy, your creativity, your compassion, and your leadership. Your education has been more than a preparation for a career; it is a foundation for lifelong learning and a commitment to making a difference. You have the potential to use all that you have learned to make a positive impact on the future well-being of our society and to the lives of others. You can be very proud of your achievements today. You have shown that you have the determination, the commitment, and the resilience to succeed.”

Adding to the celebrations, the University will present Honorary Awards to two distinguished individuals for their outstanding contributions as members of the University Council. The Venerable Randolph Thomas, former Chair of the University Council, will be honoured with an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity, while Mrs Maria Stedman, former Vice-Chair, will receive an Honorary Fellowship.

The celebrations span two days, with ceremonies on both 8 and 9 July, marking a joyous occasion for graduates, their families, and the entire University community.

For those unable to attend in person, UWTSD offers live streaming of each ceremony on the University’s website:
