Congregation

About Congregation

A congregation can refer to "an assembly of senior members of a university". It is used in this general sense in both of the ancient universities of England, although with significant differences. At Cambridge, and at many other universities in England and around the world, it particularly refers to such assemblies when held as graduation ceremonies, while at Oxford it is the governing body of the university.

Overview

A congregation, in some (especially British) institutions, is a formal meeting of a university, particularly for awarding degrees, and thus, by extension, the graduation ceremony at those universities. These include the University of Cambridge, Durham University, the University of Birmingham, the University of Warwick, the University of Kent and Northumbria University. At the University of Oxford, the congregation is the sovereign governing body. See also University council Academic senate General Council (Scottish university) References
