Monash University students are gearing up to swap textbooks for tassels as thousands prepare to don academic gowns and mortarboard hats for the September graduation season.

Thousands of proud parents, friends and family members are expected to pack Monash’s Clayton campus to cheer on the newest wave of graduates.

Spanning seven days from December 8 to 16, the ceremonies will see students mark the end of their study era and step into the next chapter of their lives.

The celebrations kick off on Monday, December 8, with students from the Business and Economics taking centre stage in the morning and will then be joined by students from the Faculty of Law in the afternoon.

On Tuesday, December 9, graduates from the Faculty of Arts and Arts, Design and Architecture, will receive their degrees, with more ceremonies to follow for the university’s education, science, medicine, nursing, and other faculties across the two-week program.

And the Herald Sun will be there to capture all the moments in pictures so come back and check the photos after each ceremony.
