Heriot-Watt University Malaysia Holds 3-Day Physical Graduation Ceremony For 577 Students

Heriot-Watt University Malaysia (HWUM) held a physical three-day graduation ceremony for 577 students at Marriot Hotel, Putrajaya, from Friday, February 11 to Sunday, February 13. 

The graduation ceremonies were held under strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) with all attendees required to conduct a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), as part of the University’s safety measures.  

HWUM’s first in-person graduation in two years marked another milestone for the UK  university as it celebrated its 200 years of Scottish heritage and 10 Years of Impact in  Education and Beyond in Malaysia. 

The event was made even more meaningful with the official installation of HWUM’s first Pro-Chancellor in Malaysia, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, who was appointed on August 1, 2021. 

The Pro-Chancellor conferred degrees to the graduates from the University’s School of  Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS); School of Social Sciences (SoSS); School of  Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society (EGIS); and School of Mathematical and  Computer Sciences (MACS). 

In her speech during the graduation, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah noted that despite the new challenges that Covid-19 had presented, shifting the way that we work, live, and interact, HWUM’s students were able to rise above and thrive. 

Tan Sri Dr Jemilah added that the University will advance its heritage and duty to create purpose-driven leaders; continue to foster the ethos of inclusion and education for all; and continue to innovate and research for the betterment of communities. 

“The University is ardent in its ambition of making every student future-ready, building on the successes of its first 10 years in Malaysia. We will continue to support students be internationally, emotionally, culturally, and ethically equipped for the future, so that they may positively impact communities. There’s never been a more important time to address global  matters, particularly environmental change and societal inclusiveness, than today.”
