The School of Creative Media marked a milestone evening on 15 June 2026 with our Commencement Ceremony, held at the Auditorium in Jockey Club One Health Tower. Graduates from our Bachelor, Master, and Doctor of Philosophy programmes gathered with their families and friends — a celebration of years of hard work, creativity, and growth, and for our Class of 2026, the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

The evening was made all the more special by the presence of Professor Richard William Allen, Chair Professor of Film and Media Art and former Dean of SCM — honoured with the SCM Distinguished Teaching Award 2026 — and Professor Christian Wagner, Chair Professor in the School of Creative Media, who joined us for what marked his final official engagement at SCM before his retirement.

The evening included the presentation of faculty and alumni honours alongside student awards recognising outstanding academic achievement and distinguished service. We are proud to congratulate this year's recipients:
