6.3 Graduation Ceremony

Silpakorn University, as a public university in Thailand, celebrates the graduation ceremony at
Sanamchandra Campus, Nakhon Pathom province, in November or December every year. It
has traditionally been a Royal Ceremony graced by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri
Sirindhorn, conferring the degrees to the graduate students. All graduate students are honoured
to participate in the Royal Graduation Ceremony, and receive their degree from Her Royal
Highness personally. All those attending the ceremony will be trained by staff of Silpakorn
University with regards to the protocols and procedures. This would include two – three training
and rehearsal sessions by each degree category and faculty. These rehearsal sessions will take
place a week before the ceremony date and begin with the highest academic honours and
Doctorate degrees.

All MSSU graduates are welcomed to participate in the Royal Graduation Ceremony, including
joining their DBA group for training and rehearsals. Special arrangements may be organized so
that MSSU students can minimize their stay prior to the ceremony. This also means that the
MSSU DBA graduates will have to acquire / rent the appropriate gown to join the ceremony.
Alternatively, DBA students (from abroad) may receive their DBA certificte by mail service to
their home address.
