Message from the Vice-Chancellor and President

Dear Graduates

Congratulations on your outstanding achievement. On this graduation day we recognise your commitment and success, and celebrate this important milestone with your family and friends. I am delighted to share in these celebrations with you.

This is a particularly special year for both the University of Newcastle (UON) and the Republic of Singapore. In 2015, we each mark our 50th anniversaries. Through “UON Celebrating 50” and “SG50”, we celebrate our histories, our communities, our leaders and – importantly for the University– our first-rate graduates, who form the centrepiece of our story now and into the future.

With our valued partners, PSB Academy and BCA Academy, the University is proud to have contributed to the education of students in Singapore over its 50 years, from the first Colombo Plan Scholars who arrived in Newcastle in 1968 through to the students enrolled at UON Singapore today. Students from all over Asia choose UON Singapore to receive an Australian degree in a uniquely all-Asian setting. Our UON Singapore students can now graduate with degrees in business, commerce, engineering, construction management, occupational health and safety, communication and information technology, qualifications that enable them to be competitive on the world stage and to be leaders in their field of endeavour.

Wherever your professional journey takes you, you can be proud of your association with UON, a truly world-class institution. Last year, UON was announced as Australia’s number one university in the QS ‘Top 50 Under 50’ rankings and was ranked in the world’s top 20 universities under 50 years of age. These independent rankings are evidence of a commitment and focus across the University on research excellence and high quality education outcomes.

UON’s strong relationships with partner institutions across Asia, as well as with leading industry and government bodies, have contributed to the University’s outstanding teaching and research record. As a graduate of this University, you can be assured that your education has equipped you to take on the challenges of a global workplace and that our institution is positioned to grow its international profile and succeed in the Asian Century.

Today marks your entry into the University’s 130,000-strong alumni network, comprising members from 121 countries. The Singapore Alumni Association provides many opportunities for you to connect with friends and professional associates across the globe. I encourage you to engage with the Singapore Alumni Chapter and remain connected to our university.

On behalf of the University of Newcastle I congratulate you on your graduation and wish you every success for the future.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARE

The Fanfare is performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council. It was composed by Professor Robert Constable and first performed in 1994.

THE UNIVERSITY MEDAL

The award of a University Medal is an honour made only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit. To be considered for this award, a graduate must have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of their degree program, and qualify with the highest level of that degree.

HONOURS

A Bachelor Honours degree is designed to be a pathway for research and further learning or to qualify individuals for certain professions.

Bachelor Honours Degree qualifications are at level 8 of the Australian Qualifications Framework. Graduates at this level will have advanced knowledge and skills for professional or highly skilled work and/or further learning.

WITH DISTINCTION

A Bachelors or Masters degree is conferred with distinction in cases where a candidate has achieved a Grade Point Average of 6.0 or above in the degree, out of a maximum of 7.0.

COMBINED DEGREE

A combined degree is one where a student studies for two separate degrees at the same time. It is possible for the student to complete the degree requirements for one degree ahead of the other. The student receives a testamur for each degree.

The graduationceremony


The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. Its necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her Deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public.

The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a diocese until, under pressure of other business; he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor.

The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th century they would all have been called “masters” or MAs. At that date they were paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas originally meant. In the 13th century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters. That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him.

Thirdly the graduates. The word “degree” comes from the Latin gradus, which means “a step”. When students are admitted to a bachelor degree they move one step up towards the mastership.

When they are admitted to a master’s degree they climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas.

The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman’s cassock. It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the fine clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining. By the 17th century, if not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from the colour of a graduate’s hood, the university and the degree.

The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses. The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes.

The foregoing is an adaptation of an address given at a graduation ceremony at the University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his book ‘From Alfred the Great to Stephen’ (Hambledon Press, 1991), pp. 307-309. It is reproduced with kind permission of the author’s widow.

A brief history of graduation


UON Singapore

Message from the Pro Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer

Congratulations, class of 2015!

Today marks a very proud moment for you and I am excited to be celebrating your achievements in making the transition from being a University of Newcastle (UON) student to a UON graduate in this jubilee year.

Chasing a dream requires commitment, passion, and determination and I am sure that you have carved the first step of the global journey in your chosen career.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, together with SG50, it means that you are joining the UON family with its rich history of successes and have the potential to become a leader and an innovator, and make a difference in today’s global society.

We are immensely proud that our presence in Singapore has contributed to further strengthening the Australia–Singapore relations and contributing to Singapore’s national agenda by producing quality graduates who give back to society. Through the support of our valuable partners, PSB Academy and BCA Academy, I know that you have gained not just academic excellence, but a unique and enriching student experience which we have provided since our establishment in 2006.

This year we remained in the top 3% of universities in the world, ranked equal 7th for research, and 90 per cent of our research is world standard or above. In Singapore, we continue to play a pivotal role in leveraging the University’s excellence in research and innovation by developing mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships with industries, public and private institutions, and the wider community. Recently, we completed a project on workplace safety and health in the construction industry, which provides beneficial productivity impact on professionals engaged in this area.

The differentiating hallmarks of a UON graduate are the right skills, knowledge, competencies and attitude to meet and exceed expectations in an increasingly globalised world.

Thank you for your individual contribution as a UON student in Singapore. I hope you continue to nurture lifelong friendships and network as you move on to your professional lives and be an inspiration to future students.

I encourage you to stay connected as an alumnus with UON and remember, you will always have a home and family here at UON.

Graduation is not goodbye, it is only the beginning. Congratulations and good luck!

Professor Amir Mahmood

Giving shapes livesThe University of Newcastle (UON) would like to express its gratitude to the many donors and sponsors who support the University. Donations and sponsorships help fund research that could save a life, contribute to important community projects and support students to realise their dreams and receive their degrees through scholarships and prizes.

Around 250 scholarships and 280 prizes - all funded through donations – will be awarded to students across UON this year.

Research supported through philanthropy has included exploring how to prevent type 2 diabetes in at risk males, investigating ways to save the endangered green and golden bell frog, discovering new medications for depression and helping to fight one of Australia’s biggest public health issues, obesity, just to name a few.

The University of Newcastle is ranked in the top three per cent of universities in the world and we continue to build our reputation as a world-class institution through our dedication to research, innovation and high quality teaching and learning.

Thank you to all our generous supporters for your ongoing commitment!

Philanthropy: helping to shape students’ futuresAt the University of Newcastle we pride ourselves on doing things differently. For 40 years, we’ve pioneered an approach to equity and excellence that has transformed the way we view education. We’ve broken down barriers and opened our doors to help thousands of students enter university and thrive in their chosen career.

And we’ve seen first-hand how the gift of education can change lives. Many of our students juggle work and family commitments, move away from home or travel long distances to study. Others face huge challenges in their personal lives that make learning at university harder than it is for most.

That’s why we created the Shaping Futures Scholarship Fund - to provide financial assistance to academically dedicated students who are facing hardship or challenges that make it difficult for them to complete their degrees - those students most in need.

Shaping Futures Scholarships are entirely funded through donations from alumni, staff and the community. These scholarships provide support to help cover the cost of tuition fees, travel costs, computer equipment, text books, living and accommodation expenses.

“I’ve seen first-hand the challenges so many of our students face. Giving to a student scholarship is just a small, very tangible way to help. A student who receives a scholarship overcomes their hurdles today and makes an impact on all those around them tomorrow.” Keryl Kavanagh, Shaping Futures Scholarship Fund donor.
