Is anybody else super annoyed at the fact that graduation ceremonies in the UK usually take place months after one has finished a course and possibly returned home??? A lot of students might not be able to make it for financial reasons, visa questions and many more issues. Honestly, I think universities here deliberately try to prevent you from coming at all. But why?

I think this might have to do with the fact that some universities take a very long time to release exam plus dissertation grades. I don't want to think they are just trying to squeeze the budget even more by spending as little money as possible on graduation...
