The University of Cumbria is set to welcome 1,278 graduands to Carlisle Cathedral, with thousands of guests expected to join the celebrations later this month.
Pupils from three Cumbria Education Trust schools will also be there as choirs from Workington Academy, Whitehaven Academy and Yewdale Primary School in Carlisle will provide musical accompaniment to the ceremonies.
Vice Chancellor Professor Julie Mennell, said: “Our graduation ceremonies are a culmination of all the hard work and commitment our students have to their courses and chosen field. It is a fantastic way to celebrate the end point for our students’ successes to date.
“Our university is proud of what we have achieved in the last academic year including breaking the ground of our new Barrow campus development, the establishment of the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine and the recent Graduate Outcomes survey that ranks us as the top university in the North West and 10th university nationally for graduates in work and further study 15 months after graduating.
“We’re excited to see how our latest graduates will use their new higher-level skills to strengthen the workforce in their chosen fields.”
Nine ceremonies will take place on Tuesday July 16, Wednesday July 17 and Thursday July 18.
