Graduation at the Albert Hall
Graduation 2022

Held at Nottingham’s Albert Hall, our graduates were joined by over 500 of their friends and family members who celebrated alongside their college tutors, CEO and Principal Janet Smith, our Leadership Team and Governors. 

Professor Cillian Ryan, Pro Vice-Chancellor International at Nottingham Trent University and Guests of Honour; Councillor Wendy Smith, Lord Mayor of Nottingham and Councillor Roger Jackson, Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council also joined us to celebrate this prestigious event. 

The ceremony opened with a procession led by Nottingham College Chief Executive and Principal, Janet Smith. She said:

I was delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate with our graduates and their guests and congratulate them in person on their amazing successes. They will remember today for many years to come, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to share it with them. 

“Some of our graduates may be planning to continue in education or embark on their first steps into a career, but whichever path lies ahead, they’ve built a solid foundation upon which they can flourish in the future. 

 — Nottingham College Chief Executive and Principal, Janet Smith

Among those who graduated were five individuals awarded the title of Graduate of the Year for Academic Excellence and Outstanding Achievement.
