Publication date:A massive congratulations to the fabulous class of 2022!
Graduation is always a momentous occasion in the Ravensbourne calendar. It signals the light at the end of the tunnel for all our students and is a chance to celebrate all their hard work and dedication. Surrounded by friends and loved ones, our proud graduates take to the stage and officially graduate at the prestigious Barbican.
This year, it was a real privilege to welcome actor and director Idris Elba to our graduation ceremony. This was an incredibly special occasion, as Idris was presented with an honorary doctorate and it was the first year that Ravensbourne has given out this award.
Graduation is a very important milestone in a person's life. It marks the end of one chapter, and the start of another.
Some graduates strutted across the stage, others skipped and one or two whipped out their camera for a cheeky selfie. What's for certain is that all our graduates took to the stage with style.
