Celebrating WMG's Class of 2025
Cheers of celebration echoed across campus as staff and students celebrated the achievements of the latest cohort of graduates from WMG, University of Warwick.
A highlight of the University calendar and the pinnacle of every student’s academic journey, this year’s summer degree congregations saw 305 students awarded their degrees from WMG.
Amongst them were 203 Master’s, 19 PhD, four EngD, and 79 undergraduate students. 151 of the 203 Master’s students studied full time; 25 of them studied part-time, and the other 27 completed their degrees overseas.
Of the 79 students who graduated at undergraduate level, 36 earned a Degree Apprenticeships. As a result, 39 students achieved a BSc in Digital and Technology Solutions, whilst the remainder achieved a BEng in Applied Engineering.
Professor Robin Clark, Dean of WMG, shared his admiration for this year’s cohort: “Congratulations from me and all the staff in WMG. You’ve worked so hard, but now you’re at that point where you can really celebrate. We’re so proud of you.”
You can listen to his message to this year’s graduates in full below.
The ceremony, which took place at Warwick Arts Centre on Friday 25 July 2025, was a joyous finale to many of the students’ time at Warwick and featured an inspirational talk from WMG alumnus, Jose Gonzalez Andres.
Mr Gonzalez Andres, Vice-President of Barclays UK’s Cyber Fraud Fusion Centre, graduated from WMG in 2019 with an MSc in Cyber Security Engineering.
He commended WMG’s School of ‘25: "I’d like to congratulate all the 2025 graduates. I’ve been [where you are]: it’s hard, but it pays off in the end. So, you should be very, very proud of yourselves because you’re here — and you passed!"
Jose went on to impart wisdom on navigating the world of work after education: “Learn as much as you can. There will be lots of brilliant people around you: learn from them and take the time to talk to them. [Most importantly though], do what you like best.”
The celebrations concluded with an exclusive graduate event, where the Class of 2025 and their families toasted their achievements in a less formal setting over finger food and glasses of bubbly.
During the event, prizes were presented for standout performance and projects across each degree programme, including the WMG Overseas Prize (Singapore).
This was also an important moment to pause and pay tribute to Yusuf Mumtaz, a Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprentice student, who tragically passed away aged 21. In his honour, Yusuf’s family were invited as guests, and friends from his course shared a touching video of some of the memories they made together.
This year’s graduates will join over 29,000 talented engineers, technicians, and scientists from across 190 countries, who make up WMG’s vibrant alumni community. Discover this ‘community like no other’ through the WMG alumni page.
