1st Graduation Ceremony for UPC Doctors

Mar 13, 2025

The Doctoral School is organising the first graduation ceremony for doctoral graduates who completed their degrees during 2024 and 2025 (up until the date of the ceremony). The aim is to recognise the research driven by the UPC through the doctoral graduates of the PhD programmes.

During the ceremony, the Rector will confer the laurelled cap upon the new doctors and present them with the UPC insignia. The programme includes a speech by one of the graduates, who will speak on behalf of the rest of the graduating doctors. The event will feature a performance by the UPC Choir and, at the end, a toast will be held to commemorate the occasion.

  • Date: Thursday, 10 April 2025
  • Time: From 15:30 to 17:30
  • Venue: Auditorium of the Vèrtex building. Plaça Eusebi Güell No. 6, Campus Nord, 08034 Barcelona
  • Registration: Those interested in attending the event as part of the audience may do so via a registration form that will be available in the coming days.

This ceremony will be held annually every April with the same purpose of recognising and celebrating the achievements of each year's new doctoral graduates.
