Farewell ceremonies
During the year, Luleå University of Technology and the student unions organize farewell festivities for the students who are about to finish or have finished their studies.
We want to formally thank students for their studies and give them an opportunity to celebrate their time at the university together with their fellow students and family members.

On 16 May 2024, Luleå University of Technology organised a farewell ceremony for the students in Luleå who are studying a programme that will end in the spring of 2024 – you will soon find the pictures via a link here on the website.
The farewell ceremony in May is aimed at the philosophical programmes and the closing ceremony in December is aimed at the engineering programmes that graduate in December or have one semester left.
Dates and more information on the December ceremony will be available shortly. At the start of the autumn semester, individual invitations will be sent out to the email address you have registered in Ladok to all students who are in the last or second last semester of a technical programme.
