Awarding of diploma

Once you complete your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree you will be awarded your diploma during a celebratory graduation ceremony. Some study programmes also have ceremonies for the awarding of first-year (propedeuse) diplomas or other important achievements. The awarding of your diploma is always arranged by your faculty or study programme.

Graduation ceremonies are always arranged by your study programme or faculty. 

The Classics and Ancient Civilizations program offers two collective graduation ceremonies, on the condition that a considerable amount of students graduate, in October (date of graduation 31 August) and March (date of graduation 31 January). Students who finish the programs between the 1st of June and August or between the 1st of November and January participate in these graduation ceremonies. During the graduation ceremony the first supervisor of the thesis will present the diploma with a laudatio. The presence of your supervisor(s) at the ceremony is therefore essential. You are welcome to bring family and friends!

See the general webpage of the MA Classics and Ancient Civilizations for the date of the upcoming graduation ceremony.

Students not participating in the collective graduation ceremonies due to a different graduation date are offered an individual graduation ceremony. Students can contact the co-ordinator of studies and the secretary of the Board of Examiners to make arrangements regarding an individual session.
