It's back! Join us for
Celebrate your academic achievement
Each year, we take pride in recognising our students’ dedication and success. Your hard work has brought you to this milestone, and we are excited to celebrate it with you.
If you have received a Graduation Invitation, you are eligible to attend!
Graduation is by invitation only and is open to all students across every faculty who have successfully completed a qualification with the college, including those who finished their studies in previous years.
If you are studying a packaged course and have completed only one qualification so far, you are eligible to attend graduation for the successfully completed qualification. You will also be invited again each time you complete another qualification within your packaged course.
While the specific qualification will not be announced during the ceremony, you will receive your latest certificate in a graduation cylinder on stage. This approach is designed to ensure students have the opportunity to graduate while they are still in the country, rather than waiting until all qualifications are completed and risking their visa expiring.
If you believe you are eligible and have not received an invitation, please check your spam or junk folder. If you still cannot find it, please contact us at [email protected]
We look forward to celebrating your accomplishments alongside fellow graduates, past and present!
