Haaga-Helia's graduation ceremony will take place at Finlandia Hall Congress Wing (Mannerheimintie 13, Helsinki).
All degree students who have applied for graduation during the autumn semester and will graduate by the end of December are welcome to attend (Bachelor and Master graduates from Helsinki, Porvoo and Vierumäki campuses).
Programme
The ceremony starts at 14:00. There are designated seats for the graduates by their degree. Please arrive before 13.45, so you will have time to find your seat.
The programme starts with a music performance, followed by the President's and alumn speeches. Graduates will be greeted on the stage with a rose and a congratulations card. They will be invited to the front in groups and from there, to the stage in alphabetical order. Scholarships will be handed out in the same manner (scholarship awardees have been informed in advance of the scholarship). Finally, we will hear greetings from the campuses and some more festive music.
After the ceremony, coffee and cake will be offered at the Piazza foyer and you will have an opportunity to have your graduation photo taken. The photo booth is open before and after the ceremony.
More information and the seating order will be sent by email to the registered graduates. Please read the instructions carefully.
Dress code: Semi-formal attire.
