More than 6400 students will graduate from (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) during this December's graduations.

Among those graduating in Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Centenary year is the 9000th Â鶹ÊÓƵ PhD recipient, the first Torres Strait Islander to be awarded a Â鶹ÊÓƵ PhD, the 45,000th Arts Faculty graduate and the University's largest-ever cohort of medical and engineering graduates.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Greenfield congratulated all the graduands and commended their academic achievements.

"Graduation ceremonies are celebrations of success and an opportunity for the University to thank graduates for making Â鶹ÊÓƵ their university," Professor Greenfield said.

"It is also a time to marvel at the potential of new graduates, and at their capacity to lead and make a positive impact in their communities and - in many cases - internationally."

Eighteen graduation ceremonies will be held between December 10 and 18. Fifteen ceremonies will be held at Â鶹ÊÓƵ's St Lucia campus, two at the Ipswich Civic Centre and one at Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Gatton campus.

This December's graduands will join a network of 190,000 Â鶹ÊÓƵ alumni, living and working in more than 150 countries.
