Graduation 2026

A New Chapter Begins: Graduation Ceremony 2026 at Whitecliffe  

Every chapter begins with a moment worth remembering. 

On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Concert Hall of the University of the Arts Berlin (Universität der Künste) will host the Graduation Ceremony 2026 of Whitecliffe University of Applied Sciences, bringing together graduates, families, friends, faculty, and the university community to celebrate the Class of 2026. 

For many graduates, the journey began under a different name: Berlin International University of Applied Sciences. It was the place where they met friends, exchanged ideas, discovered their creative voices, and grew. For more than a decade, the Berlin campus has brought together students from diverse backgrounds to learn, create, and experiment. 

Now, graduates from the Faculty of Architecture and Design and the Faculty of Business Administration will come together to receive their diplomas and celebrate the culmination of their academic journeys. The ceremony will feature meaningful speeches reflecting on their experiences and looking ahead to the opportunities that await them. 

The day will also recognize outstanding achievement, with the announcement of the Best Students of the Year 2026, as well as the Best BA Thesis and Best MA Thesis from both faculties. The Christian Wulff Scholarship will also be presented, continuing a tradition of recognizing academic excellence and potential. 

Adding to the celebration, the Oriel Quartett will provide musical performances throughout the ceremony, creating a memorable atmosphere for this special occasion. 

For the Class of 2026, this graduation marks more than the completion of their studies. It is also part of a new chapter for the university as it continues its journey as Whitecliffe University of Applied Sciences, following its integration into Whitecliffe Global in 2026. 

One chapter closes. A new one begins. The future is theirs to write.
