Celebrations continued in St Andrews today as hundreds of students picked up their hard-earned degrees during day two of the winter graduations.

Hundreds of graduates crossed the stage during the final two ceremonies at the Fife university’s Younger Hall.

It marks the final day of the winter graduations, with over a thousand students from all over the world having their hard work recognised.

Wednesday’s celebrations included students from the schools of English, history, classics, modern languages and divinity, among others.

Meanwhile, world-famous violinist Nicola Benedetti was recognised by the university as a Doctor of Music.

The day was not without controversy, however, falling on one of several nationwide strike days by lecturers.

A small picket line was organised by staff and students outside Younger Hall, with those in attendance calling for a fair pay settlement for academic teaching staff.

You can see the highlights from both the morning and afternoon winter graduations before.

  • Check out the best pictures from day one of the winter graduations here.
