Graduation Ceremony
Congratulations on your successful Degree!
Dear graduates of the 2025/26 academic year,
we would like to offer you our warmest congratulations on obtaining your Degree at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
Together with you and your families, we would like to take this opportunity during the graduation ceremony to look back on your time at university and present you with your graduation certificate. Afterwards, we warmly invite you to a get-together on Schlossplatz – a wonderful occasion to raise a glass together to celebrate your successful Degree.
The festive highlight of the evening will be the University and Graduates’ Ball at the Tivoli. Under the theme ‘TUBAF International’, we will be celebrating not only your Degree but also a special anniversary: 25 years of the International University Centre.
This celebratory moment marks an important milestone in your life. We look forward to celebrating this special day with you!
Please note the registration details below. This is the only way to take part in the events!
With best regards
Your TU Bergakademie Freiberg
