Years of hardwork, months of intense placements, hours of study sessions with coursemates, yet rewarded with a delayed ceremony the following year.
This delay is unfair and unnecessary. It withholds the well-earned recognition that we all deserve and creates financial and emotional strain, whilst failing to acknowledge the reality of students' lives, commitments and unplanned circumstances. Graduating should be a celebration that we all deserve to experience timely, not a postponed congratulations.
We are calling on the University to consider Winter graduations for healthcare students, so achievements are recognised when they are earned.

Let’s have winter grads! We all deserve it!
This is such a great petition and will benefit so many students whose course does not finish in time to allow them to have a summer graduation. We deserve to have a timely graduation after the years and effort we put into our degree and shouldn’t have to wait until a year later.
There shouldn’t be a delay !
Thank you for this Nife, we shouldn’t have to put off celebrating our hard work ! Hopefully this is actually taken into consideration.
This is brilliant! I stand with you on this one.
Having a winter graduation would be amazing as it would be close to when we are all qualified. It will also make sure that most of us are able to attend as most people will be on vacation in the summer, might move countries or they might also be busy with their lives.
Brilliant I stand with this one
