“Class of” Whisky
To celebrate three graduations this year, the University has curated a unique whisky for each of the graduating classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The whisky is a one-off cask strength 12-year-old Glen Elgin single malt, taken from a single cask and labelled for each graduation class.
The bottles are now available for pre-order and will be available for collection during graduation at the graduation marquee. If you are not able to collect your bottle at your graduation, the bottle can be safely packaged and sent to you for an additional fee.
For further information, please visit the University Shop website.
Latin degree certificates
Decorative degree certificates, written in Latin, are available to graduates as a unique memento of their achievement. The certificate is printed in four special colours and gold foil blocked on handmade paper. Each certificate is individually signed by the Vice-Chancellor of the University and is hand-scripted by a calligrapher. The graduate’s class of honours may be included or omitted as preferred. Certificates are priced at £70 (excluding post and packing).
