Graduation ceremonies are public events. The University would like to publish the names of all graduands, including those graduating ‘in absentia’, in the press. Your consent for this is gathered as part of the online registration process. The virtual ceremonies will be broadcast live for graduates, their families and friends, and will be available thereafter on the University’s YouTube channel.
You can find further details about how the University will process your information in our UWS Graduation Privacy Notice.
