Graduation ceremony
Every semester, HM Business School organises a graduation ceremony for the previous semester’s graduates.
At the start of a new semester, we receive lists from the Examination and Internship Office detailing which students graduated last semester. Please bear with us on this – the previous semester must first be finalised before we receive the details of the graduates.
We can only invite those students whose details have been sent to us to the ceremony; unfortunately, it is not possible to bring the graduation ceremony forward or postpone it. The cut-off dates set by the Examination and Internship Office are 30 September and 14 March. Your marks must have been entered and finalised by your lecturers via Primuss by one of these dates at the latest for us to be able to invite you.
It will take a little while for the invitations to be sent out, as we need to organise the celebration. You will then receive your invitation by email at the personal email address on file in Primuss. Please ensure that your email address is up to date. A link in the email will allow you to register yourself and your guests for the celebration.
You can always find the current and upcoming dates on the HMBS website under ‘Partnerships’.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by email at campusconnect-hmbs@hm.edu .

At the end of each lecture period (January/February for summer semester enrolment and July for winter semester enrolment), the allocation draws for the bachelor's degree in Business Administration modules 4.2, 5.2, 5.3/6.3, 6.1, 6.2 and 7.1 take place in PRIMUSS.
The allocation processes will run over a total period of approximately two weeks and will take place at different times for the various modules. The exact dates will be announced in good time on the website.
How do the prize draws work?
Students on the bachelor's degree programme in Business Administration (BABW) may take part in the allocation process via PRIMUSS during the specified period (to be found in Hamster under ‘Course Selection Process’) and must select and prioritise a pre-set minimum number of modules within a given module.
Immediately after the enrolment period has ended, the ‘allocation of places’ takes place; places are allocated by random draw in PRIMUSS. As some modules are more popular and are prioritised more often than others, not all students can be allocated their first choice or their preferred place.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the Bachelor’s Office: bachelor-bwl-hmbs@hm.edu.
