In a series of festive ceremonies, Bachelor, Master, and doctoral students who completed their studies in the academic year 2018\/2019 received their diplomas. Overall, 640 Bachelor and 528 Master students as well as 126 doctoral candidates graduated from the University of Luxembourg in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was an occasion to celebrate the students\u2019 achievements as they launch into the next phase of their studies or into their professional life. It was also an opportunity to reflect on the University\u2019s role. Prof. St\u00e9phane Pallage, Rector of the University of Luxembourg said: \u201cMore than ever, universities play a role in a functioning democracy. They ensure an environment of rigorous, factual and independent reflection. [\u2026] Their freedom and autonomy are essential for democracy and peace. We are fortunate to live in a country that cherishes these fundamental values. [\u2026] We thank the Luxembourg government for its visionary investment in higher education and research. It is the best investment possible, in you, your future and indeed our future. [\u2026]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Pallage also encouraged the graduates: \u201cThe conferment of degrees is certainly one of the most cherished moments of your life. In English we say \u2018commencement\u2019 because it is the end of nothing and the beginning of everything. Another life begins here and believe me, there is a beautiful life out there beyond this auditorium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-scaled.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/gradweek_sp-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"fstc\"\n    >\nFSTC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>205 students graduated from the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/fstm\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication<\/a> on 10 December.
