Graduation
Attend a graduation ceremony in China
Each year, the University partners with the Centre in China to hold graduation celebrations in China. These culturally rich celebrations are conducted in a combination of English and Mandarin and attended by senior University staff.
If you’re an eligible student you’re welcome to celebrate your academic achievements with friends and family at one of these special graduation events. This exciting opportunity is in addition to your Sydney graduation ceremony.
This year's events will be held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing on 7–8 November 2026.
Benefits of attending
- Ceremonies are held in prestigious venues.
- Senior academic and professional staff from the University join to celebrate with you and your guests.
- You’ll get the chance to connect with local alumni and build professional networks.
