Behind every final thesis, students put a lot of energy and effort. The end of the program of study opens up new paths – a reason to celebrate! The Institute of Sociology therefore invites students to its graduation ceremony every year to honor the graduates and recognize their achievements.
In addition to the award ceremony, the program includes speeches by members of the institute and the student council, musical accompaniment and catering, including vegan options. Students are invited by email around six months in advance.
The next graduation ceremony will take place on June 26, 2026 in the old Mensa.
