The Robing Ceremony for Doctor of Philosophy graduates for the year 2022 was successfully conducted on the 25 th November 2022 at the HCTM Auditorium. The ceremony included graduates from the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Dentistry, and Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI).

The ceremony is a tradition that the faculty has continued to uphold in order to celebrate the success of students in completing their PhD journey, and to appreciate the hard work of their supervisors. In addition, PhD graduates who Graduated on Time (GOT), and who fulfilled ‘Excellent Thesis’ criteria, and their respective supervisors were awarded with a prize and certificate.

In total, there were 30 PhD graduates from the Faculty of Medicine, 14 from the Faculty of Health Sciences, four from UMBI, and three from the Faculty of Pharmacy, and one from the Faculty of Dentistry. This year, we gave out the prize to students who successfully graduated on time as well as to recipients for ‘Excellent Thesis’.
