Degree milestone for Aberystwyth University

The 2010 Graduation Ceremonies being held all this week mark an important milestone for Aberystwyth University as the first cohort of students receive Aberystwyth University degrees.
In 2007 Aberystwyth University was awarded new Charter and Statues by the Privy Council. These include the powers to award its own degrees.
Three years on, Aberystwyth graduands will be wearing the new Aberystwyth University gowns.
Reflecting the University’s colours, the Batchelor’s gown, which will be worn by BA and BSc graduates alike, features red and green silk cord and red button detail on the sleeve and a black hood lined in green with a red border.
Professor Noel Lloyd, Vice-Chancellor of Aberystwyth University said: “My warmest congratulations to all those who are graduating from Aberystwyth University this week. I am delighted that the Aberystwyth University degrees will be awarded for the first time. The University has seen notable successes in the last few years, and this is another indication of its confidence in the future.”
About 1,750 students graduate from Aberystwyth University this year. The ceremonies are taking place at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
