Graduation Ceremony

The time of study is an important, eventful and formative stage of life that will certainly not be forgotten. To ensure that this stage receives a worthy conclusion, the University of Potsdam invites its graduates to a central graduation ceremony every year with their families and friends.
The next central graduation ceremony will take place on June 25, 2026. We look forward to welcoming all graduates in front of the impressive backdrop of the Colonnade at the Neues Palais.
