The Faculty of Philosophy will organise a wonderful three-day graduation ceremony in May 2025, in honor of the faculty’s masters and doctors who have graduated after the previous Conferment was held in May 2023 or have not previously participated in a conferment of their degree. The graduation ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime festivity with origins in the Middle Ages.
The Faculty of Philosophy is a historical entity that consists of five current faculties: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy and Faculty of Science.
The Conferment Ceremony is the highest celebration of academic achievement, where graduating masters and doctorates are formally conferred to their new academic rank and gain the right to bear the academic insignia (a ring and a wreath of laurels for Master’s; a hat, and a sword for doctors). The Conferment includes dinners, solemn processions, a formal Conferment Act in the university ballroom, lots of speeches, celebrations of education, science, and knowledge, and embracing the fellowship of the academic community.
