Graduation Day 2024
Wednesday 8 May
President’s welcome
Welcome to Imperial College London’s Graduation Day 2024. I am delighted that you, your family and friends are able to join us for today’s celebration here in the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
My congratulations to all the graduates, honourees and award winners celebrating today.
An Imperial degree requires curiosity, tenacity, collaboration and years of hard work. I know just how challenging this is to achieve. You deserve today’s reward.
Academic excellence is always a team project, so I extend my thanks to friends, family and fellow students who have supported you in your efforts. I hope that your time here has sparked friendships and professional partnerships that will flourish for years to come. Graduation is a proud moment for Imperial’s entire community who have shared their knowledge, guided, supported and inspired you.
Today you join our esteemed alumni community. The questions you go on to ask, the discoveries you make, and the innovations you drive, will impact the world and inspire the next generation of students to study at Imperial.
Professor Hugh Brady
President
"From all of us here at Imperial: well done and all the best for your future. May your scientific imagination lead to world-changing impact."
