Graduation

Graduation is the formal process of receiving an academic degree or diploma after the successful completion of a course of study at an educational institution, such as a school, college, or university. It typically involves a ceremony where graduates wear caps and gowns and are presented with their qualifications in front of an audience, which may include family, friends, and faculty. The term marks a significant milestone in an individual’s educational journey, symbolising the transition from one level of academic achievement to the next, such as from secondary school to higher education, or from undergraduate studies to postgraduate studies. Graduation also represents the culmination of years of study, effort, and personal development, often accompanied by celebrations that acknowledge the accomplishments of the graduates.
