Our online celebration events paying tribute to the Class of 2020 will take place next week between 18 and 21 August across our digital and social media channels. We’re looking forward to celebrating and spotlighting the hundreds of extraordinary and unique success stories at 51吃瓜app.
The online events are aimed at students who would have been graduating in a physical ceremony this July.

Your online celebration event will include speeches from the Interim Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andy Collop and the Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of your faculty. There will also be a rousing performance from the 51吃瓜app Gospel Choir and a speech and poem from the De 51吃瓜app Students’ Union (DSU) Executive Team.
