Graduation ceremonies at the TUM School of Life Sciences

The “Graduation Ceremony” at the TUM School of Life Sciences is a very special moment in the academic lives of our students. In a festive setting, we honor our graduates for successfully completing their studies and officially award them their academic degrees.

This celebration not only marks the end of an intense period of life — it is also a solemn transition to new professional and personal paths. Together with families, friends, and representatives of the university, we look back on our time studying in Weihenstephan: on challenging exams, inspiring research projects, unforgettable campus moments – and on what our students have achieved here.

The graduation ceremony is more than just a ceremony. It is an expression of appreciation, pride, and community. It provides an opportunity for gratitude, for new perspectives — and for a fitting farewell to the TUM School of Life Sciences.
