The ceremony was witnessed by the guest of honour, Dr Haji Azman bin Ahmad, Permanent Secretary (Higher Education) at the Ministry of Education. Also in attendance were Her Excellency Yu Hong, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to Brunei Darussalam.

The event was later followed by the distribution of certificates to the students.

In conjunction with the joint Chemical and Process Engineering graduation ceremony, a collection of ancient Chinese paintings was presented to Universiti Brunei Darussalam by Mr Chen Lian Cai, on behalf of Zhejiang Hengyi Group. These ancient paintings were sponsored by Hengyi Group and the collection was produced by Zhejiang University. This comprehensive collection is jointly compiled and published by Zhejiang University and the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Zhejiang Province, and is the first large national publishing project that focuses on traditional Chinese paintings on paper and silk from the pre-Qin period to the Qing Dynasty. A partial collection was handed over during the ceremony, while the rest of the collection will soon be delivered to Universiti Brunei Darussalam.
