Congratulations on completing your studies! You're about to achieve a major life milestone by graduating from Victoria University.

Most students don't need to apply to graduate – we'll advise you once you've completed your course requirements and are eligible.

You can then choose to attend a formal graduation ceremony, or collect your Testamur (award/certificate) at your convenience (see our Awards and Testamurs Procedure).

You need to apply to graduate if you completed your course before 2015 or wish to exit with a lower (alternate) award. Information on how to apply in these circumstances is detailed on this page.

Due to COVID-19, we are holding Online Graduation Ceremonies in 2020 to commemorate the achievements of our graduates in a virtual format. All 2020 graduates will be invited to a graduation celebration event in 2021 when we are able to hold large functions again.
