Winter graduations 2025
A total of 1,336 students graduated at the University's six winter ceremonies on Tuesday and Wednesday December 2 and 3 - a number of honorary awards were also made.
Attendees at this year's Winter graduation ceremonies got chance to ride a tuk-tuk across the University of Bradford campus, as part of the day's celebrations.
Students from the University's six schools, two research centres and doctoral college celebrated their achievements in style.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Shirley Congdon, who is due to retire later this month after six years in post, said: "Graduations offer a moment to consider the path of our lives, what we have learned along the way, and what the future holds.
"Being awarded a degree is not just about gaining knowledge in your chosen subject, it is also about building fundamental life skills such as teamwork, resilience and versatility and importantly confidence, it is this confidence that will help our graduates as they now go on to the next stage in their lives."
