Our Indian alumni community is so important to us and we’re really looking forward to celebrating their achievements.”

Professor Anthony Forster added: “Our graduation ceremonies are usually reserved for our newest graduating students, but we know that many of our international graduates may have missed out on attending their graduation ceremony in Colchester, or they weren't able to be joined by their loved ones due to the distance.

“That is why we're so delighted we’re offering alumni in India the opportunity to 'graduate' again, in their home country with family and friends by their side. It is also a wonderful time for our alumni community to meet-up again and to network.”

The graduation ceremony in January 2023 will have all the excitement, sense of occasion and fun which Essex graduation ceremonies are so well known for. Graduates will wear their gowns and be introduced by name before crossing the stage to be received by the Vice-Chancellor.

Guests will be part of the audience and will then join graduates at a special reception after the ceremony with refreshments and the opportunity for everyone to celebrate.

The Graduation is open to all alumni even if they attended their original ceremony in Colchester. It is designed to be a special opportunity for alumni to graduate in their home country with friends and family by their side while also celebrating everything they have achieved since completing their studies at Essex.

Students and alumni need to register themselves for the graduation event by Thursday 22 December. Registrations may close early should the event reach capacity before this date. Graduating alumni and students will be able to also book five guest tickets. Students and alumni can book by visiting www.essex.ac.uk/events/2023/01/21/india-graduation
