MTU President Professor Maggie Cusack commented, “Conferring ceremonies are one of the highlights of our students’ journey with us and a great celebration. We congratulate all of our graduates, their families, loved ones and friends as we recognise the hard work and dedication that led to this moment.
“While graduation marks the end of one part of our graduates’ journey with MTU, it’s also the beginning of a new chapter that may see them embark on further study through our Masters, PhD and Research programmes, or on rewarding careers across social, cultural, technological and industrial sectors. On behalf of everyone at MTU, I wish each and every one the very best for their future.”
