Graduation

Congratulations to everybody graduating in July 2025! Graduation day is a wonderful chance to celebrate with friends, family and RCM staff. These pages contain all the information you need to prepare for your graduation. Please make sure you read everything carefully.

We hope that you can join us on Graduation day here at the RCM, but we understand this is not possible for everyone. You can graduate in absentia if this is what you need or prefer to do. Either way, you should let us know so we can plan appropriately.

For those who will be joining us on the day, please read our information on attendance and the graduation schedule, which includes gown collection and official photography opportunities prior to the day itself.

Graduation ceremonies take place in the Britten Theatre. Each is followed by a reception with canapés and sparkling wine in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall, hosted by RCM Chairman, Lord Black of Brentwood.

If you are a guest at Graduation, we have compiled a page of helpful information about your visit, what you can expect and how to reach us.

For friends and family who will not be able to join us at the RCM, we will broadcast the ceremonies live, here on our website and on our YouTube channel.

On-demand version of the graduation ceremony livestreams will be included here shortly after each ceremony, for you to watch again!
