Western Sydney University's Parramatta South campus will be awash with colour as graduands don cap, gown and colourful hood and make the transition from dedicated student to proud University alumni.

The University is hosting its April/ May graduation ceremonies from Saturday 28 April to Friday 4 May 2018.

Over 23 ceremonies, 4,654 graduands will receive their degrees from across a wide range of disciplines, including nursing and midwifery, business, law, education, medicine, social sciences, psychology, science and health, computing, engineering and mathematics.

A highlight of each graduation ceremony is the Occasional Address. In April/ May, Western Sydney University graduands and their guests will have the opportunity to hear from a range of distinguished guest speakers.
