Computing Science and Mathematics
Virtual Graduation Day 2021

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, this year's graduation ceremony was cancelled/postponed. As a little celebration and an opportunity for the division to congratulate our graduates and prize winners, we held a virtual graduation and prize-giving ceremony on Microsoft Teams. All of the awards and prizes are listed below, together with screenshots of the graduates and staff who were able to attend our Teams ceremony. You can click on an image to get the full resolution version.

The following videos are also available to view:

  • A short film from the Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gerry McCormac, and the University Chancellor, the Rt Hon Lord Jack McConnell.
  • A short message from a few university staff members.
  • The full recording (39m 54s) of our Teams Virtual Graduation, 2021.

We hope to see all of our graduates in person at a suitable event in the future.

Congratulations to all of our graduates and prize winners.
