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

You don't usually need to apply to graduate – we'll advise you by email 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.
