Student Handbook 2023/24 (Cert IP / Cert Trade Mark Law and Practice AND MSc Management of IP)

As a future alumnus of Queen Mary, there are a number of ways that you can get involved and keep in touch with your peers and the wider network whilst you are a student and after you graduate.

We have 28 Chapters (social and professional networking groups). They are mainly organised by geographical area and help bring students and alumni together to connect and participate in local activities. There are also two Distance Learning Chapters as part of the network.  Find out more about the Chapters and join here.

There are various groups on LinkedIn. Join CCLS Alumni LinkedIn today.

Joining this group will provide you with an opportunity to hear news from the community, as well as find out about upcoming conferences, seminars, and other events.

The CCLS Alumni web pages are dedicated to the CCLS community with more information on how you can get involved and stay in touch, find out about alumni news, events and other activities.

We are always looking for new testimonials from students and recent graduates, which can be promoted to help future students decide to study at CCLS. See the current testimonials here. Are you interested in sharing your testimonial in the coming months?

Later in the year, you will be contacted to be invited to submit your profile and be part of the CCLS Yearbook. Not only is the Yearbook a memento of your studies, but it also exists to help you stay connected with your class after graduation and learn more about your cohort.

We are always happy to hear from students and we hope to see you at different opportunities throughout the year. Look out for us when we have a stand in the CCLS Reception for example!

A leaflet will be shared with you during Induction, sharing the benefits of being part of the CCLS community whilst you are a student.

If you are interested in any area of alumni engagement and getting involved, please contact the Alumni team.

Graduation

September Intake: See Key Date and Graduation website: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/graduation/

Queen Mary has two graduation ceremonies per year, one in summer and one in winder (usually mid-December)

The Ceremonies office will make contact with you a few months before your graduation and send you a form and information for booking a place at this wonderful event, both for yourselves and hopefully some friends and family.

You may find that you will have to book a place at graduation even though you will not have confirmation that you have successfully passed your degree. Please do not worry, as this is normal practice due to the timing of the event. In the unlikely event of your not passing your exams, you can obviously withdraw from that particular ceremony.

For further information about graduation please visit the graduation site https://www.qmul.ac.uk/graduation/index.html
