The graduation ceremonies took place at the historic Great Hall on the University campus where students from across the Faculty gathered to receive their degree certificates.

A total of 599 students graduated from both the three and four year degree programmes in the Faculty. Of those, a spectacular 73.6% (441 students) were awarded class 1 or class 2.1 degrees. In addition 70 medics graduated from the one year intercalated degree programmes.

Several students from across the Faculty won additional prizes recognising their dedication and hard work throughout their degree study.

Professor Dick Killington, Pro-Dean for Learning and Teaching, said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our graduates across the Faculty. The graduation ceremonies recognise the achievements and accomplishments of our final year students and are a chance to celebrate their success. The knowledge, experiences 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 you all the very best for the future.”
