When you apply to graduate, you can choose to attend a ceremony or graduate in absentia (Latin for in or during one's absence).

In absentia conferrals happen monthly, when you apply to graduate in absentia you’ll be allocated to the next available date after you complete your course.

Following your conferral, you'll receive your digital documents (Testamur, AHEGS and Transcript) via My eQuals and receive your hard copy Testamur via post. 

Find more details and dates of ceremonies on the Graduations website.
