hands holding a diploma

From May 20-22 and May 25-28, 2026, more than 1,800 graduate students will be receiving their diplomas during the spring graduation ceremonies. In all, 290 doctoral and 1,580 master's graduands will be crossing the stage at convocation.

UBC's Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) wishes all of our graduands the very best in their future endeavours, and hope that they continue to share their successes with us as they launch their career!
