St Chad’s College is proud of our 111 undergraduate finalists who received their degrees this week during University Congregation.  36 Chadsians received 1st Class degrees.  Many of our Postgraduate students also received their Masters and Doctoral degrees during the ceremonies which took place in Durham Cathedral from Tuesday 28th June until Friday 1st July.  Degrees were conferred by the Chancellor, Sir Thomas Allen, and the Vice-Chancellor Professor Stuart Corbridge.  Members of St Chad’s College staff and SCR also took part in the ceremonies to support another graduating year of Chadsians.

The week began with Graduands’ Formal in  College on Monday.  This is both a celebratory time and a sad time.  Celebratory for obvious reasons, we laud the success of our students  – and also sad because this week can seem like an ending. But this week is actually a beginning.  Our graduates now begin the rest of their lives, taking with them all that St Chad’s and Durham have done for them, and all that St Chad’s and Durham have taught them.

We are proud of our new alumni and we hope that they will continue to be proud of their College, St Chad’s, and proud to call themselves Chadsians.
