St Andrews University’s 2023 winter graduation celebrations kicked off on Tuesday.

Hundreds of students took to the Younger Hall to celebrate their academic achievements.

In two ceremonies on Tuesday, students from 13 different schools received their awards in front of friends, families and classmates.

During the morning’s ceremony, Dame Evelyn Glennie received a Doctor of Music award by the university.

More ceremonies take place on Wednesday.

Our photographer Kim Cessford/DC Thomson was on hand to capture some of the best moments.
