Higher Education Graduation – Celebrating Achievement

Each year we celebrate the achievements of our Higher Education students in a graduation ceremony held at Rotherham United’s AESSEAL New York Stadium, accommodating hundreds of proud families and students graduating from a huge variety of classes. This year, our graduation ceremony will be held on Thursday 28th November 2024.

The graduation celebrations of 2023 took place on Friday 17th November, commemorating the success of graduates from the RNN Group of Colleges courses, including Rotherham College, North Notts College and Dearne Valley College, and the state-of-the-art University Centre Rotherham (UCR). The ceremony included inspirational guest speakers, a brass band, commemorative certificates and a sea of graduands in caps and gowns, surrounded by proud families and friends.
