Completion Ceremony

Will you be graduating soon? We wish to invite all of you who are in your final semester at MDU – welcome to attend our Completion Ceremony. Please note registration is necessary!

We are delighted that so many students will graduate in June – a total of 1600 degree programme students from 60 different programmes and additional students who have taken freestanding courses. We wish to thank you and celebrate with all of you, which is why we are arranging the Completion Ceremony over two days.

To celebrate your graduation, you are invited to attend one of our five Completion Ceremonies on 15 or 16 June 2023. Chat with your student friends about which ceremony you would like to attend. Please register then for that ceremony – bear in mind it’s on a first come, first served basis.

If you are studying at a faster pace or have taken individual courses corresponding to a programme, these aren’t listed in the same way as degree programme students, however you are of course welcome to register. You are also welcome to participate even if you still have supplementary qualifications to take in your studies.
