Celebrating and being proud at Ilisimatusarfik

On Friday 27 June 2025, Ilisimatusarfik was buzzing with life and joy as we held this year's summer graduation - a day dedicated to celebrating the 69 new bachelors and 10 masters who can now call themselves graduates.

Campus Ilimmarfik was filled with smiles, applause and warm moments as graduates, families, friends and lecturers gathered to mark this important milestone.

The summer graduation featured solemn speeches that both celebrated the graduates' efforts and pointed towards their next chapter.

After years of diligence, professional challenges and personal development, the graduates received their well-deserved diplomas - much to the pride of both themselves and those around them.

The atmosphere was festive and touching, and the day was a testament to the strong community and the great effort that characterizes life at Ilisimatusarfik.

With the graduation, the graduates now step out into the world as professionally strong and committed representatives of Ilisimatusarfik.

We wish all our graduates a huge congratulations and good luck on their further journey - whether it leads to the labor market, further education or new adventures.
