Welcome to the UCD Conferring Unit
Conferring ceremonies are joyous occasions when the University community assembles to honour its new graduates. The conferring of degrees is a ceremony of special significance for the graduates, their families and friends, for the academic staff who have guided the graduates to their degrees, and for the many others who contribute to the life of University College Dublin. The ceremonies are great public occasions for the University, to which we welcome our guests who are visiting our campus, some perhaps for the first time.The role of the Conferring Unit is to plan and organise the conferring ceremonies for over 6,000 graduates per annum. We hope that the following pages and links provide useful information and help to answer any questions or queries.
