HLSS Graduation 2014

This past week has marked the end of an era for many university students around the country, particularly those at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). Undergraduates and postgraduates from all faculties across MMU were celebrating their completion of academia with their friends and family at the Bridgewater Hall.

Thursday 24th July marked two very special graduation ceremonies, which are close to the heart of Humanity Hallows; those from the Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences Faculty.

The day began with History, Politics, Philosophy and Sociology, which was later followed by English, Languages and Information & Communications. Graduates were welcomed to celebrate their successes with academics and members of staff from the Faculty, at tasteful graduation receptions, both in the Manchester Business School and at Bridgewater Hall.

Many Editors and Journalists for Humanity Hallows graduated at these ceremonies, and although we are very proud of them, we are extremely sad to see them go. Below are a few names you may recognise:
