Graduation

Degrees are conferred by the University at a ceremony in the Senate House known as a Congregation. People due to take a degree (graduands) are presented for their degrees to the Vice-Chancellor (or deputy) by an officer of the College known as the Praelector.

The Praelector for Churchill College is Dr John Fawcett. Administrative assistance to the Praelector is provided the Tutorial Office.

Please note: Bookings close 3 weeks before each graduation date
