Your Presidents are pleased to announce a reduction in the price of graduation tickets!
As part of our Cut the Costs Campaign, your President team have successfully reduced the price of graduation guest tickets from £35 to £15.
We felt that charging students £35 a guest ticket was unfair and would price families out of the celebration. After students pay so much to be at university as it is, we feel it wrong for students to be burdened with a final hidden course cost.
Over the summer, we conducted research into how students found the pricing as well as looking into how much other universities charge. From this we drafted up a report to give to the University Directorate, with the suggestion that they work with us to reduce the price.
We are pleased that as of Summer 2017, we have managed to reduce the price of each ticket by £20, which will save students around £1,000,000 over the next four years.
