AHEGS

The Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) is a Commonwealth initiative introduced to help make Australian qualifications recognised and understood throughout the world.

The AHEGS describes higher education qualifications in an easily understood way. It describes the award, the awarding institution and the Australian higher education system, providing potential employers and other institutions with a greater explanation of the achievements of the graduate. 

By explaining Australian awards to domestic and international audiences, the AHEGS enhances opportunities and mobility for Australian graduates. The template for ANU AHEGS is based on nationally agreed specifications approved by the Australian Government.

You will be granted access to a digital copy of your AHEGS shortly after graduation. A sample AHEGS document can be found at this link.

You can find out more about the AHEGS on the Department of Education, Skills and Employment website
