Congratulations class of 2023

As the sun sets on one chapter, the next one is just beginning. Marked with the ceremonial donning of caps and gowns, graduation is a time to reflect on the journey you've travelled to get here and on all the memories you've made along the way. 

Graduation day is always a highlight in the Ravensbourne calendar, and this year was no different. Against the backdrop of London's dramatic Barbican, we celebrated the achievements of another incredible cohort of students. 

A massive thank you to our graduate Ben Peters and current BA (Hons) Digital Photography student Jaydendra Patel for capturing the day in pictures.

The crowd cheered on as graduates took to the stage with style, grace and heaps of character.
