The Master Graduation Day is the official graduation ceremony for all students of Erasmus School of Economics who have successfully obtained their master’s degree. This milestone is celebrated with a festive ceremony, including a keynote speech and, of course, the handing out of the diplomas. After the ceremony, all students and their guests are invited to raise a glass during a celebratory reception.
Above all, the Master Graduation Day is a moment to honour the graduates and inspire them as they take the next steps in their careers.
