Current policy at the University of Aberdeen dictates that only students who are graduating from a degree course are entitled to take part in the formal graduation ceremonies.
Students undertaking Diploma courses, such as the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (Primary and Secondary), are not allowed to graduate in person, instead, having to graduate in absentia.
We feel that this is an incredibly discriminatory policy and would like to see this policy changed to allow diploma students to have their achievements recognised and celebrated along with the rest of the student body.
We, the undersigned, think that PGDE students should be allowed to graduate as part of the formal graduation ceremonies to be held in July 2006.
