Congratulations to all our graduating students

Congratulations to all our graduating students
Over 600 students from the faculty graduated last week.

Over 600 students graduated from Biological Sciences last week and embark upon a new chapter in their lives.

The graduation ceremonies took place at the historic Great Hall on the University campus where students were joined by friends, family and academics from across the Faculty to receive their degree certificates.

Professor Mike McPherson, Pro-Dean for Student Education in the Faculty of Biological Sciences, said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our graduates. The graduation ceremonies recognise the achievements and accomplishments of our students and are a chance to celebrate their success.”

“Our graduates will carry with them in-depth scientific knowledge, excellent transferable skills and amazing experiences from their time in Leeds. The knowledge, expertise and skills they have gained at Leeds will ensure they stand out in the graduate job market and will be advantageous to their future success. We wish our graduates all the very best for the future, and hope to keep in touch with them and hear of their achievements.”

The week also saw Sports and Exercise Science Alumnus Alistair Brownlee receiving an honorary degree along with his younger brother Jonathan, who graduated last year with a BA in history.
