Our final year students will graduate on Wednesday 16 July 2025, and our celebrations have been arranged to ensure you can all come and spend some time in the college with your family and friends. Our celebrations will take place in Bowland Quad and Common Room between 1pm-5pm. Expect free fizz, sweet treats and live music. The Bowland College group photo will take place at 3pm on Lancaster Square (County Fields).

• If you are in the 1.45-3pm ceremony, come and celebrate with us from 3.30-5pm. These celebrations are after your ceremony. The Bowland College group photo will take place immediately after your ceremony and normally takes around 30 minutes. After the photo come and celebrate with us in the college.
• If you are in the 4.30-5.45pm ceremony, come and celebrate with us from 1pm-2.30pm. These celebrations are before your ceremony.The Bowland College group photo will take place at 3pm before you go to the Great Hall for your ceremony, so come and celebrate with us first. We'll make an announcement when it's time to go to the photo session.

Our college celebrations are free to attend and your family and friends are warmly invited to join us. You are welcome to bring along a picnic for you and your guests.
