Ceremony 4 - School of Law and Social Sciences and Derby Business School

(Online students)

Ceremony 4 is for students graduating from the School of Law and Social Sciences and the Derby Business School (Online students)

Gowning takes place at the Pride Park Stadium and registration takes place at the Arena. All graduates must register at the Arena prior to the ceremony in order to be able to take part. Late arrivals must go directly to registration at the Arena and not to the Pride Park Stadium (alternative arrangements will be made for your gown collection).

Please note the timings below, and allow plenty of time for your travel and parking. We also recommend that you prepare for the weather conditions, as there is a two to three-minute walk between Pride Park Stadium and the Arena.

For graduates with mobility requirements, contact graduation@derby.ac.uk.

Guests are welcome to accompany you to the Pride Park Stadium for gowning and photography.
