Graduation

content

Graduates in gowns pose on stage at the UHI Argyll ceremony, celebrating with graduation scrolls, and balloons.

Our 2025 Graduation Ceremony took place on Friday 26 September, at The Queen's Hall, Dunoon. 

Sixty-five graduating students and their guests from all corners of Argyll & Bute, and Arran gathered in the spectacular setting of The Queen's Hall for the event. 

With students at UHI Argyll scattered across the region, connecting in virtual classrooms with their lecturers and peers, many of them were meeting in person for the first time as they received their awards. 

The ceremony recognised the achievements of UHI Argyll's Further Education and Higher Education students, as well as those receiving Degrees and Post Graduate Qualifications from the University of the Highlands and Islands.
