Law students look back on studies in UWL graduation ceremony

2 December 2021

The next generation of legal experts have joined celebrations at Twickenham Stadium today for the first in-person graduation from UWL since the outbreak of Covid-19.

Looking back on their studies as they collect their degrees, students from across the University of West London’s School of Law came together to celebrate and mark their achievements in front of family and friends.

In what was the fourth day of a week of ceremonies in the iconic stadium, the event also welcomed renowned human rights barrister and legal expert, Courtenay Griffiths who was presented with an honorary degree in recognition of four decades of work fighting for social justice in courts worldwide.

Professor Anthony Woodman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of UWL, said:

We are immensely proud of all our graduating students here today, and this is especially true given the challenging circumstances that they have faced to get here over the past 20 months.

We strive every day to make a difference and to ensure students can access the education they need to reach their potential. Today is another way we can see the benefits of that work, and we know that our graduates will go on to make a positive difference as they take their next steps.”
