Large blue letters spelling "UoS" are displayed in front of the Guildhall. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds.

A group of six graduates in caps and gowns pose outdoors under a bright, partly cloudy sky. Behind them is a modern building with large glass windows.

A group stands smiling outside the Guildhall, under a clear blue sky. In the center, three people in graduation gowns and caps with their family standing next to them.

Four individuals in graduation gowns and caps stand in front of the Guildhall, under a blue sky. Colourful flags are visible on either side.
