Graduations 

UQ enjoys celebrating with graduates through formal ceremonies in July and December each year.  Unlike other degrees, our PhD and MPhil students can be awarded their degree upon the successful conclusion of their thesis examination process, rather than exclusively at the end of the academic semester, but are invited to attend formal graduation ceremonies.  If you were unable to attend a graduation ceremony but would like to now, please contact the Graduation Office to find out about your options.

  • International recognition of the research work;
  • Impact of the research (actual and potential);
  • Publications or other outputs (eg. Creative works); and
