Over 2,000 University of Tasmania students will cross the stage to receive their diplomas, certificates, degrees and doctorates at the 2024 Winter Graduations.
The celebrations began in Launceston on Thursday with two ceremonies and will continue in Hobart with four ceremonies next week.
Graduates from a range of disciplines will be joined by family and friends as they celebrate the completion of their studies.
For the first time in Tasmania, 24 of the 2,000 graduating students will be locally trained Physiotherapy and Speech Pathology students.
These graduates will fill critical vacancies across the state’s health sector, where such skills are in high demand.
University Vice-Chancellor Professor Rufus Black congratulated all graduating students.
“Graduations are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the life transforming achievements of each and every student and the difference they will make to their communities,” he said.
“Seeing our first cohort of Speech Pathology and Physiotherapy graduates is an important step in the University’s mission to ensure we do all we can to support the provision of excellent health care in Tasmania.”
