After Your Studies

Most postgraduate students choose to attend the university’s formal graduation ceremony which is a spectacular event, with processions, academic robes and great ceremony. It is the perfect opportunity for the university, the students and their families and friends to celebrate together. As a postgraduate student you are likely to make close personal friendships and strong professional links on your program and keeping in touch after graduation is important, for both personal and professional reasons, particularly when friends and contacts may return to their homes around the world.

In this section we look at the graduation ceremony, how to keep in touch with your new-found friends and how to adjust to this new stage in your life.
