Celebrating our 2017 graduates
Congratulations to our engineering, environmental science, and audiology students who recently graduated from the University.
Our new graduates were joined by family and friends on Thursday 27th July, to celebrate their outstanding achievements.
This year’s graduation also celebrated the second cohort of Mechanical Engineering students from our University of Southampton Malaysia Campus.
As part of the celebrations, a number of industry and University awards were presented to exceptional students for their academic and project work. Thank you to all those who have kindly provided awards.
