G
raduation is a memorable and worthy celebration of your hard earned success.
I hope you and your supporters have a wonderful day.
This year I am delighted that we are celebrating the achievements of
more students than ever before, and I warmly welcome each of you to the Aber alumni
community. In doing so, you are in excellent company. Many of our alumni are leaders in
their field, and their chosen careers take them to all corners of the globe. I encourage you

that arise, and like them, build upon your Aberystwyth University degree and the
stimulus of your activities here.
Thank you for choosing to study at our University. We have valued your contribution
to student life, and how you and your fellow students enriched our lives and experiences.
As you graduate, take with you what you have learnt during your studies and use your

success and contentment. In Aberystwyth, we will continue to develop this remarkable
University for generations to come. Keep in touch, and please remember we’re here to help

News of individual students excelling academically is always welcome – not to

all our students’ successes, and is an unbeatable occasion!
As we wave farewell to our graduands, we welcome our graduates to the alumni

on the horizon is the redevelopment of our beautiful Old College. We aim to establish a
multipurpose graduate centre, and a cultural quarter for the town, to ensure a sustainable
future for this iconic building.
Thank you for being with us today. On behalf of all my colleagues here at
Aberystwyth, I wish you a wonderful graduation day and every success in the future.

Your guide to
Graduation
During the five days of Graduation, the University welcomes over 10,000 students
and supporters to Aberystwyth. It’s a fantastic time for all involved, but it’s
important that you know what’s available to you and when. Here is your quick
guide to Graduation, including details of where you can take five minutes out and
rest with a cup of tea and slice of cake!
What to expect?
On arrival, students should make their way to the
Round Theatre on the first floor of the Arts Centre to
register. During registration, students will be handed their
card with details of their seat number, together with any
guest tickets requested.
After registering, please make your way to the Parry
Williams building (Department of Theatre, Film and
Television Studies) to collect your robe. Depending on the
time, you may like to take your graduation photos before
the ceremony. Tempest Photography, the University’s
official Graduation Photographers, will be available from
8am to 6pm.
A rehearsal is held before each ceremony at 9.30am for
morning, and 1.30pm for afternoon ceremonies. During
the rehearsal, parents and supporters are welcome to relax
in one of the Arts Centre’s cafés, take a wander around one
of the galleries, or pop to the Students’ Union for a coffee.
Gownspotting!
President
All students should be in their seats at least 15
minutes before the ceremony, guests are welcome to
make their way to the seats in the gallery of the Great
Hall from 10.30am or 2.30pm depending on the time of
your ceremony.
A full programme of the ceremony, including the
names of today’s graduates and details of the procession
and musical interlude, can be found in the centre pages
of this booklet.
Following the ceremony, graduates are asked to
make their way to the La Scala steps to have their group
photograph before heading to the marquee behind the
Arts Centre for a celebratory glass of fizz or juice.
Please ensure that you return your gown to the Parry
Williams building, by your agreed time.
Enjoy!
A veritable rainbow of gowns can be seen adorning our students and staff at Graduation. Each
University has its own style and the cap, gown and hood have a particular meaning which signifies
the level of the qualification obtained.
The members of staff on stage usually wear the gown which demonstrates the highest
qualification they hold. As the University attracts staff from all over the world, there’s a vast range
of gowns on show!
Aberystwyth University’s own gowns are based on a colour palette of green and red, with the
undergraduate and postgraduate gowns being black with varying hoods and the PhD being a deep
red coloured gown with green adornments. A small number of students began their studies when
Aberystwyth was part of the University of Wales and therefore wear the gowns from this period.
We challenge you to count the different gowns you come across during a ceremony!

Meet some of Aber’s key contacts for your future:
Sian Morgan Furlong-Davies
Tony Orme
Director, Careers Service
Enterprise Manager
“Following this excellent success it’s important that you
now continue on your glittering career path by aiming for
the best possible opportunities from this point onwards.
Remember that the Careers Service will continue to
support you wherever you are and whatever you are doing
as a next step, offering you a lifelong service. We will be
happy to help you with any queries you may have about
your future and your career. Also, please don’t forget to get
in touch with us next January when we will be gathering
the destination details of our graduates, by completing
the questionnaire that we send you; and if you don’t have
a specific destination planned or in place at that stage
then do get in touch so we can help you – that’s what
we’re here for!”
“Congratulations on your Graduation! Your next step might be employment;
maybe further study or even taking a well-earned break.
For some graduates, self-employment is an interesting career option, either
setting up and running a new enterprise now or in the future (once they have
experienced working for more established organisations, first). Some graduates
set up new businesses as their full-time occupation, others run their enterprises
alongside employment or further study.
If you are interested either now or in the future in the feasibility of turning
a good business idea you might have into a successful new enterprise, then
Aberystwyth University would be keen to support you, particularly if your
proposed new enterprise is being set up in the Aberystwyth area.
The sort of help and support you might need in the start-up phase could
well include one-to-one business mentoring, business start-up skills training,
information on start-up funding or networking opportunities. The University,
in conjunction with local enterprise partners, offers a range of business start-up
opportunities. The support includes our popular “Enterprise Wednesdays” – a
regular series of workshops and presentations to support those setting up new
businesses; Business Start-up Week – a boot-camp style week of events to help
anyone with an idea to develop a business plan; and the Crisalis Enterprise
Network – keeping those with new graduate businesses in touch with one
another.
All of these services are FREE and available to Aberystwyth Graduates, as
well as to students and staff members. Please do keep in touch and let me
know if there’s any further support you need to make your business a success.”

Graduation 2014
Vice-Chancellor’s
Charity of the Year
Now in its third year, the Vice-Chancellor’s Charity of the Year appeal
seeks to raise as much funding as possible for a worthy cause.
A
a number of occasions arise during the year, where fundraising for a local charity is possible,
the Vice-Chancellor’s Charity of the Year provides a focus for community fundraising and
charitable donations.
This year, nominations for the Vice-Chancellor’s Charity were sought from University students
and staff. The list of nominations – all worthy in themselves - was whittled down to a shortlist of
nine charities by the sabbatical team of the Students’ Union and the University Executive. Following
a week of voting and hundreds of votes cast, the Aberystwyth Lifeboat and the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), was chosen as the charity for 2014/15.
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue
service in the UK and Ireland from 236 lifeboat stations, including Aberystwyth. Additionally the
RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 180 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist
flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding
puts lives at risk.
We look forward to working with the Aberystwyth Lifeboat and the RNLI team during the
forthcoming year and invite you to learn more about their work by chatting to the charity’s
representatives at the stall in the foyer of the Great Hall or visiting www.aberystwythlifeboat.org.uk.

We asked our Pro Vice-Chancellor for Welsh Language and
Culture, and External Engagement, Dr Rhodri Llwyd Morgan
to share his experience of Graduation...
My first Graduation
I
have an admission to make. This will be my first
official Aberystwyth University Graduation Ceremony.
Although I am a proud Aber alumnus – History, 1992
in case you were wondering – I did not attend the official
ceremony back then.
No, this wasn’t a massive blunder and I did not turn
up on the wrong day. Nor was I backpacking around the
globe hacking through jungles, working the bars on Bondi
Beach or getting a misspelt tattoo in Thailand. Instead,
I went to the “unofficial” ceremony organised by UMCA
(Aberystwyth’s Welsh-speaking Students’ Union). UMCA,
which celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this year, was
in dispute with the University authorities at the time due
to its weak bilingual policy. I am glad to say that things
have progressed, the University now has a clear approach
to the equality of English and Welsh, and both UMCA and
the Students’ Union are fully engaged in representing the
students’ voices in the University Council meetings and
on various committees. The bilingual policy is the reason
you will hear a lot of Welsh used during the ceremonies
as well as on our University signage, documents and
correspondence. It is said that you know you’re in Wales
when you see “ARAF – SLOW” painted on the roads – as if
we needed any reminding!
Your son or daughter may well have studied part or all
of their degree with us through the medium of Welsh and
we are building on our provision in this respect across more
and more subject areas. Even if they did not undertake any
study in Welsh they may well have picked up some of the
language during their time here in Aberystwyth. We are
proud that this too is part of the Aber Experience since it
gives so many of our students exposure to cultural diversity
and this will stand them in good stead in the future.
But back to the ceremony and like many of our happy
new graduates my parents too will be attending their first
official Aberystwyth Graduation Ceremony. Despite their
moral guidance and financial support first-time round they
took my insistence that I would only attend the UMCA
ceremony very much in their stride and, thankfully, had a
thoroughly good time. On this occasion, however, they
will be in similar shoes to your good selves – a little bit
lost, a little trepidatious, and definitely proud and maybe
emotional. And as it is my first time – I will be too.

Dydd Iau 17 Gorffennaf 2014 11yb
Thursday 17 July 2014 11am
Trefniadaeth y Cynulliad
Procedures of the Congregation
Ar ddechrau’r seremoni darllenir y Cyhoeddiad gan un o’r
myfyrwyr sy’n graddio. Mae’n cydnabod cyflawniadau a
llwyddiannau’r myfyrwyr sy’n graddio, ac yn datgan y gobaith
y byddant yn cyfrannu at wybodaeth a budd cenhedlaethau i
ddod, ac wynebu’r heriau sy’n wynebu ein byd.
The ceremony begins with the reading of the Proclamation by
one of the graduating students. It recognises the achievements
and success of the graduating students, and expresses the hope
that they will contribute to knowledge and wellbeing for future
generations, and confront the challenges that face our world.
Bydd ymgeiswyr am raddau dechreuol (israddedig) ac uwch
(uwchraddedig) yn cael eu cyflwyno ym mhob seremoni. Fe’u
cyflwynir i’r Is-Ganghellor yn unigol. Fel arfer, Pennaeth yr Adran
berthnasol fydd yn cyflwyno’r myfyrwyr. Arweinir myfyrwyr
i’r llwyfan lle cânt eu cyflwyno i’r Is-Ganghellor, a darllenir eu
henwau. Bydd yr Is-Ganghellor yn datgan y fformiwla briodol
i’r grŵp, ac yna byddant yn dychwelyd i’w seddau. Ar ôl i bob
grŵp fynd yn ôl i’w seddau, bydd yr Is-Ganghellor yn cyfeirio’r
fformiwla priodol at y grŵp cyfan, ac fe gânt hefyd eu cyfarch gan
y Llywydd neu’r Is-Lywydd.
In each ceremony there will be candidates for initial
(undergraduate) and higher (postgraduate) degrees. Candidates
will be presented individually to the Vice-Chancellor. For each
degree the presenter will normally be the Head of the appropriate
Department. Candidates will be conducted to the stage by
Marshals where they will be presented to the Vice-Chancellor
and their names will be read out. After each group have returned
to their seats, the Vice-Chancellor will address the appropriate
formula to the whole group, and they will also receive a greeting
from the President or Vice-President.
Bydd cyfarchiad y Cyflwynydd fel a ganlyn:
The formulae used during the ceremony may be translated as
follows:
Anrhydeddus Is-Ganghellor, cyflwynaf i chi fyfyrwyr o’n
Prifysgol ni a ennillodd radd…..
Cyfarchiad yr Is-Ganghellor –
Trwy awdurdod y Brifysgol a ymddiriedwyd i mi, derbyniaf chwi
i radd….. ac i holl freiniau’r radd hon.
Bydd y Llywydd neu’r Is-Lywydd yn cyfarch y graddedigion â’r
geiriau Boed eich gofal yn wastad dros lwydd ac anrhydedd ein
Prifysgol a’n Gwlad.
Yn achos y graddau uwch, fe geir cyfarchiad gwahanol, yn mynegi
llawenydd y Brifysgol o dderbyn y graddedig yn Athro neu’n
Ddoethur. Bydd grwpiau bychain o ddarpar raddedigion am
raddau uwch yn cael eu cyfarch gan yr Is-Ganghellor a’r Llywydd
neu’r Is-Lywydd ar y llwyfan, ac yna byddant yn troi i wynebu’r
gynnulleidfa i’w cydnabod.
The Presenter’s formula –
Anrhydeddus Is-Ganghellor, cyflwynaf i chi fyfyrwyr o’n
Prifysgol ni a ennillodd radd…..
Honorable Vice-Chancellor, I present to you students of our
University who have gained the degree of ……
The Vice-Chancellor’s formula –
Trwy awdurdod y Brifysgol a ymddiriedwyd i mi, derbyniaf chwi
i radd….. ac i holl freiniau’r radd hon.
By the authority of the University, entrusted to me, I admit you
to the degree of ….. and to all the privileges of this degree.
The President or Vice-President greets the graduates with the
words –
Boed eich gofal yn wastad dros lwydd ac anrhydedd ein
Prifysgol a’n Gwlad.
May your care ever be for the success and good name of our
University and Country.
In the case of higher degrees there is a different form of greeting,
stating that the University is pleased to admit the graduate as a
Master or Doctor. Smaller groups of graduands for higher degrees
may be addressed by the Vice-Chancellor and the President or
Vice-President on the stage, and will then turn to the audience for
acknowledgement.
