A spectacular week of graduations at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) was rounded off in style as students collected their degrees watched by proud family and friends.
Today was the turn of students from the Faculty of Arts, Design and Humanities and the Faculty of Technology who crossed the stage to claps, cheers and even a confetti cannon set off to mark the occasion.
DMU’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Andy Collop told them: “Go out and make the future. Your future.”
As the ceremonies came to a close, the new graduates hugged and took selfies on stage with friends and family.
Game Art Design graduate Thomas Day tweeted: “Graduation Day – what an achievement!”
