Anyone who successfully completed their degree program or doctorate at the Chemnitz University of Technology in the 2016 summer semester or 2016/2017 winter semester will have the chance to reflect on this occasion on Saturday, May 20, 2017.

All registered graduates will experience an unforgettable day with their families and friends in the St. Petri Church from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. Entry starts at 12.30 p.m.
Following the welcoming speech of the University President Prof. Gerd Strohmeier, the program centers around the honoring of all graduates.

The musical accompaniment is provided by the Collegium Musicum orchestra. At the end of the Celebration Event all graduates will come together for the traditional group photo with the University President with subsequent champagne reception.
