Music for all compositions was written by a professional composer, words were written by a poetess. This songs will be performed by the students themselves,’ commented the director of the event Alexander Kondratenko. 'In the end of the ceremony all 6 300 graduates will send balloons to the sky as symbols of their wishes and aspirations.’

The Graduation Ceremony traditionally consists of several parts. During the first one, the graduates will gather in their institutions to express their gratitude to the lecturers.
