Class of 1974: You’re Invited to Kent’s Golden Graduation

We are delighted to invite the class of 1974 to your Golden Graduation ceremony in Canterbury Cathedral on Friday 26 July 2024 to celebrate 50 years since your graduation from the University of Kent.

We are tremendously proud of all our Kent alumni and this event offers you a chance to commemorate your lifetime relationship with the university and reconnect with fellow alumni from your graduating class. The ceremony will also enable you to connect with our newest graduates as you will process into the Cathedral alongside them.

The ceremony is free to attend for graduates but there is a gown hire fee of £45. Each graduate is welcome to bring up to two guests to the ceremony who will be priced at £30 per person.

If you wish to book accommodation for your stay in Canterbury, rooms will be available to book in Keynes College for Thursday 25 – Saturday 27 July using the discount code GOLDEN24.

We hope our Golden Graduations will bring back many happy memories of your time at Kent whilst also creating many new ones.
