We are offering two ceremonies in 2022 – one in June and another one in November.
We are inviting graduates who obtained their degrees from the Faculty of Science and Engineering in 2022 (undergraduate and postgraduate education, not PhD studies).
After completing all programme courses, you have to apply for a degree certificate from the Office of Degree Administration. They need your application no later than 16 September to ensure that your certificate is ready in time for the November Ceremony. For further information on how to apply for a degree, please go here.
As a graduate you are not restricted to a specific Ceremony. Should you prefer to attend a future event, please contact us.
Registration is mandatory for attending the Ceremony and the dinner.
Linköping Concert & Congress Hall, the Crusell Hall and the Garden Restaurant
Konsistoriegatan 7, Linköping
Suit or a nice evening gown, skirt, or trouser suit – long or short. We also love to see traditional Swedish costumes.
The Ceremony is led by our Director Festivitatis. Diplomas are presented by the Dean/the Pro Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
Afterwards we join in a celebratory toast.
Please note that the Ceremony is in Swedish.
The Ceremony is free of charge.
Graduates must RSVP in order to participate. Graduates may invite any number of guests to the Ceremony.
There will be one joint Ceremony for all 300 graduates on 26 November. Graduates should arrive at the Concert & Congress Hall at 1:30pm for at joint rehearsal. The Ceremony begins at 4pm.
In the evening there is an optional studentesque dinner at Restaurant Garden in Linköping Concert & Congress Hall, with a current or former Faculty of Science and Engineering student acting as toastmaster. There will be entertainment and speeches by LiU students, staff and alumni.
Adults: SEK 750 (non-alcoholic drinks: SEK 725)
Children up to 12 years: SEK 350
The price includes the ceremonial toast, one glass of wine for the starter and 1.5 glasses of wine for the main course, coffee/tea and a sweet.
All graduates who wish to participate will be offered a dinner seat. Our ambition is that every graduate should be able to invite three guests. However, the restaurant has a limited capacity and seats will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. In your confirmation e-mail we will inform you how many seats we have reserved for you and your guests.
There will be a seating plan. Graduates will be seated with their families and also adjacent to other graduates from the same programme.
Celebrations will continue throughout the night with live music courtesy of student bands. Expect spontaneous dancing, laughter and networking opportunities!
Registrations for the November Ceremony is now closed. We will send confirmations via e-mail by mid-November.
If you would like to cancel your dinner reservation, you may do so until 17 November. Cancellations beyond this date will not be eligible for a refund.
Graduates who are registered for the 26 November event have one joint Ceremony at 4pm. However, graduates should gather at the Consert & Congress Hall already at 1:30pm for a rehearsal.
It takes up to three months for us to process a full application. The processing time is often longer during the summer and autumn, due to high workload. Your application must then be registered in LADOK so that we can send out the invitation. After registering your reply, we will order your diploma which also has to be printed and signed. A list of attendees is then forwarded to Linköping Concert & Congress Hall and the restaurant so that they can plan the event in detail.
A suit in the colour of your choice. A white shirt and tie, or bowtie. Ladies should wear a nice evening gown, skirt, or trouser suit – long or short. We also love to see traditional/national costumes and dresses. You are also welcome to wear a ”technology hat” (teknologmössa) if you own one. Please note that student party committee/peer student dress suits are not acceptable.
