Celebrating success - Summer Graduation 2016
Graduating students from Ocean and Earth Science celebrated this week at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS) after their formal ceremonies at the Highfield campus, University of Southampton.
Summer graduation saw our talented Oceanography, Marine Biology, Geology and Geophysics students receive their degrees at a ceremony at the main University Campus. Friends and family watched with pride as the new graduates were congratulated by the academics who had taught them throughout their degrees, at the world-reknowned Waterfront Campus, NOCS.
At a reception down at NOCS following the main ceremony at Highfield, everyone enjoyed an afternoon of celebrations and Professor Steve Roberts, new Head of Ocean and Earth Science, presented prizes to some of our high achieving students. These awards recognised their achievements in project work, research and winning high marks in their exams and assessments.
