Although it rained with strong winds, typical of Edinburgh weather, the McEwan Hall was very quickly filled up by proud parents and family members of the graduating students. The ceremony was chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of the Edinburgh University, whose simple and sweet speech introduced to the audience the proud history and the achievements of the University. A prominent Scot industrialist, Sir Thomas Blane Hunter,was awarded the Degree of Doctor Honoris Causa, for his venture philanthropy into tackling social issues and problems.

This ceremony was mostly for doctoral and post-graduate degrees. Edinburgh University proudly graduated its first batch of graduates with a Masters of Science Degree in Carbon Management. The university is the only university in the UK which has this programme on offer.
