Edition 2025 — RWTH Graduation Festival

The RWTH Graduation Festival 2025 took place in September at Allianz Park – with approx. 6,500 visitors and 1,800 graduates. A classic large graduate celebration with speeches, certificate awarding, and cap tossing. One of Germany's largest graduate celebrations at Allianz Park Aachen. Approx. 6,500 visitors and approx. 1,800 graduates with speeches, certificate awarding, and cap tossing marked the September day.
