Graduation

Our graduation ceremonies at Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) are a rich pageant full of colour provided by academic robes, processional maces, banners, fanfares and ceremonial music.

Staff from across the university come together, at Britain’s largest cathedral, to deliver an incredible and memorable experience for our graduands and their families.
