Your time to shine
Graduation is the formal process of awarding your degree and marks your successful transition from uni student to qualified professional.
To those who've helped you through it's much more than that. For your friends and family, lecturers and tutors, graduation is their time to share your success and show how proud they are of all that you've achieved.
Your invitation will be emailed to you approximately 6 weeks prior to your ceremony. The invitation will include the date and time of your ceremony.

Graduation 2020
On 1st October 2020 our April and September graduates were invited to attend a virtual celebration and while it's not the graduation anyone had planned we hope they still felt the love of the USC community.
We can't wait to celebrate with both our 2020 and 2021 cohorts at the April 2021 ceremonies.
