During Graduation we have a stall in the foyer of City Hall, so that all our graduates can pick up something to remember your time at SHU. Each day we open at 9am and close around 30 minutes after the end of the afternoon ceremony so you’ll definitely have time to visit us. Below is a list of our top 5 favourite gifts:
Union Jack Mugs
Class of 2018 T-Shirts
Embroidered Hoodies
Sheffield Hallam University Coat of Arms Pin Badge
Graduation Teddy Bears
Graduation Teddy Bears
We love these cute little bears! We have two bears to choose to take home, either Fudge or Rusty, our favourite is probably Fudge, although it’s a close call.
Embroidered Hoodies
Graduation exclusive! New for 2018 our 1843 range will have two hoodies that are great to snuggle up in and are the easiest thing to throw on whenever you need to. The hoodies come in 2 colours (maroon and grey) and are super fluffy and warm. Only available at City Hall during the graduation ceremonies.
Union Jack Mugs
These mugs are excellent and having the Union Jack (in Sheffield Hallam colours) provides the perfect balance between being British and a Sheffield Hallam graduate!
Class of 2018 T-shirts
White t-shirts with all the names of graduates from each ceremony printed on the back. The perfect memento of your graduation day!
Sheffield Hallam University Coat of Arms Pin Badge
These pins are a great little keepsake and look great on any coat or jacket, helping you show your pride to the world!

You have 4 days before ticket booking closes at midnight on the 26th October.
This means we are getting closer and closer until the ceremonies start – so exciting!
So far 6588 of you have booked your tickets, which is amazing! But for those of you that haven’t yet managed to, make sure you book your graduation tickets and your gowns before the deadline date; otherwise we cannot guarantee a place or a gown for your graduation.
To book your tickets, remember, you need to log on directly to ‘My Student Record’, go to the ‘My Certificates and Graduation’ tab (navigating along the top of the page) and then you should see a ‘Graduation’ container with a link to ‘Book Graduation Tickets and Pay Online’.
To book your gown (and photographs), you need to go to Ede and Ravenscroft directly.
Again, I repeat, ticket booking closes on the 26th October!
Hi everyone! It’s October! This year is just zooming by and that means that the graduation ceremonies are drawing ever nearer – they are only six weeks away!
We’re slowly gearing up for moving ourselves over to City Hall to set up an amazing two weeks of ceremonies, but more importantly, we’re readying ourselves for organising ticketing as the ticket booking deadline approaches.
You have 3 weeks, exactly 23 days, left to book your tickets for graduation. This is also the same deadline for booking your gowns from Ede and Ravenscroft, so don’t forget to do that too.
However, you can relax when it comes to your photography as this can be booked on the day – phew!
For those of you that are still awaiting results, and are unable to book your tickets yet – don’t worry! Your faculty admin teams are working hard to make sure that your records are updated in time for the deadline dates, and if for any reason you are a bit concerned, you can contact us at the Graduation Office on graduation@shu.ac.uk or 0114 225 5353 so that we can put your mind at rest.
Many of you are now booking tickets for this year’s Graduation ceremonies – how exciting! However, a few of you are probably starting to get nervous waiting to find out what happens on the day.
So here’s a little bit more information:
We usually recommend that students attend City Hall two hours before their ceremony starts to allow time for gowning, photography and for finding their seats in the Oval Hall.
During the ceremony, students will be taken from theirs seats to the stage all in correct time.
The ceremonies usually last between an hour and a half and two hours; all depending on how many students are graduating. Therefore, we ask that students leave two hours before booking meals or trains after the ceremony, though you may need to leave more time if you are returning your gown afterwards.
Take a look at our short guide to find out more about what happens on your graduation day, or take a look at the graduation website here.
You will also receive further more in-depth information with your tickets which will be posted to you one week before you ceremony.
If you have an overseas address your tickets will be available, on the day of your ceremony, from the information desk two hours before your ceremony start time.
As always – any questions please take a look at our website or if you need to speak to someone contact the Graduation Office on graduation@shu.ac.uk.
As we reflect on the summer we’ve just left behind us and look forward to November, July was the month that we officially said farewell to our Chancellor Professor the Lord Robert Winston and welcomed our new Chancellor Baroness Helena Kennedy QC.
Professor the Lord Robert Winston was our Chancellor from 2001 until 2018 and attended many of the University’s graduation ceremonies, inspiring graduands from across the world. As a final farewell, the following video was played at his leaving dinner to commemorate his time at the University which we will post below for you to enjoy.
We look forward to welcoming Baroness Helena Kennedy QC to both the University and to our ceremonies, where we are sure she will make as much of a difference to our graduates as Lord Winston did.
