Graduation 2011: what's happening when
The Summer 2011 Graduation Ceremonies take place over four days from 12 to 15 July. Students from right across the University will receive various levels of degrees and we will honour nine notable individuals who have achieved prominence at national or international level and/or made significant contributions to the University and City of Leicester.
