Leaving Ceremony 2026

If you completed your studies in autumn 2025 or will be completing them in spring 2026, we would like to invite you to attend the university's leaving ceremony, where we will celebrate your academic achievements and wish you every success for the future.

Leaving Ceremony. A speaker standing at a podium addresses a large audience.
  • Date: Friday 5 June 2026
  • Location: UW-Tech Arena, Falun
    The reception that follows the ceremony will be held in the Campus Falun atrium (main hallway).

The leaving ceremony is for programme students who completed their studies in autumn 2025 or who will be completing their studies in spring 2026. The reason it is a leaving ceremony and not a graduation ceremony is that not all students will have received their degree before the end of the semester.

During the ceremony, which will be held in Swedish, there will be speeches from, among others, the university's Vice-Chancellor and the student union's chairperson. These will be available in English on the university's (du.se) website during the ceremony.

The event will be followed by a reception on Campus Falun. Students, friends and family are welcome to attend both the ceremony and the reception.

The ceremony is divided into two sessions: one starting at 10.00 and one starting at 14.00. Below, you can see which programme is assigned to each ceremony.

FAQ

As a student, you are welcome to invite up to four guests to attend the ceremony and the reception afterwards. You indicate this when registering.

To ensure that as many students as possible have the opportunity to bring their guests, and to stay within the venue’s capacity and safety limits, we have set a limit of up to four guests per student.

The graduation ceremony will take place at 10.00 and 14.00.

Please check which ceremony your programme belongs to before the event. You cannot choose which ceremony to attend — you must attend the ceremony assigned to your programme.

You should arrive approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony starts, according to the schedule provided. This gives you enough time to line up with your programme before the procession into the arena begins.

Parking is available in the university's car park. There are also several parking areas in the Lugnet area, close to the arena.

Photos will be taken at the event for communication and marketing purposes. If you do not wish to appear in our photos, please inform the photographer or university staff at the event. If you have any questions or want to request the removal of a photo, contact support@du.se.

We kindly encourage you to leave younger children, and those who may find it difficult to sit still, at home. We hope for your understanding.
