NCI Graduation 2025

The National College of Ireland April Graduation will take place in the Convetion Centre Dublin on April 4th 2025.

NCI Graduation Ceremony

The NCI Graduation Ceremony is held in the Convention Centre Dublin.


NCI Graduation is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the hard work you have done to complete your course and gain your qualification. All graduands will receive communication regarding the graduation ceremony, gowning, photography, and receiving their parchment prior to the ceremony. 

Graduation Ceremony Videos

On Tuesday November 26th 2024, we celebrated four memorable graduation ceremonies, and each one was recorded for students and families to relive these special moments. 

Links to the videos can be found below. 

Photography

Lafayette Photography is the official photographer authorised to take photographs on the day of graduation. It is strongly advised to pre-book your photography online as early as possible. Online booking will close at midday the day before your graduation. We advise all graduates to pre-book your photography which you can do closer to the time.

Please note that all photography booked with Lafayette must be booked prior to the commencement of your ceremony. Graduates will not be able to access the photography area after your ceremony has finished.

Lafayette Photography will send your order receipt via email and you can present the QR code to Lafayette Photography staff on the day of your graduation.

Lafayette Photography is the official certificate framing provider for National College of Ireland. The certificate frames may be booked online by visiting their frame shop.

Gowning

Phelan Conan is the official provider for all NCI graduation gowns. 

You will be able to collect your cap and gown on the day of your Graduation Ceremony in the Convention Centre up to 1 hour before your ceremony commences, but we do encourage you to collect your gown in advance of the day of your Graduation Ceremony. Times and locations will be confirmed in the new few weeks and published here. All gowns must be returned to the Gown Return stand at the Convention Centre on the day. 

Plant a Tree in Your Name

In collaboration with Tree-Nation, NCI is gifting each of our graduates a tree planted in their name. This gesture not only celebrates your academic achievements, but also contributes to the fight against deforestation, climate change, and supports local communities worldwide. 

Schedule

A full breakdown of each ceremony schedule will be confirmed and posted below in February.
