On September 4, Bucerius Law School celebrated the 12th Graduation Ceremony of the Master of Law and Business Program. This year’s graduation was marked with the beautiful Hamburg sunshine and a festive buzz on the campus. Around 300 guests, among them family, friends, diplomats, internship supervisors and faculty members, attended the ceremony during which 30 students donned in caps and gowns from 23 countries proudly received their Masters Degree.
Mr. Benedikt Landgrebe, Deputy CEO of Bucerius Law School hosted the event which was opened with a speech from Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Katharina Boele-Wolki, President of Bucerius Law School.
This year’s keynote speech was given by Ms. Tatiana Turculet, a Moldovian/Romanian graduate of the class of 2013. After several years in Deloitte’s Risk Advisory Department, Tatiana now works in the anti-money laundering field for a division of the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg. She held a motivating speech about how the program has influenced her career choice and how important it is to learn languages, follow your dreams no matter what and never give up believing in yourself and what you can achieve in your life. The interlude was an emotional video tribute to the departing students and afterwards the graduating class were called on stage to receive their certificates.
