We had our graduation ceremony on 27th May, Thursday, a simple and cozy ceremony.

It began with some finger food and beverage at O building (for our department only) while a student band was playing at the small stage in the center of the hall. The dean of our department gave a speech both in Swedish and English and announced the best student and best teacher of the year (the award usually goes to the bachelor students) before the crowd was dismissed to different rooms according to which programme they went to.

Programme leaders congratulated and bestowed us the degree certificates. Oh, wait a minute, those were actually applications for the degree certificates. In Sweden, you need to apply for your degree certificate before you can get it.

Here is me with the application. Forgot to mention the rose. Everyone got a rose or even a hug from the programme leader.

We also received the course certificate from SHUSI ( a university we had an exchange programme with).

Everyone seemed happy for getting the rose perhaps. That was not the end and no time for sentimentality. We had to prepare for the final seminar on the following Monday.
