The Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS)

You will receive your AHEGS soon after you have completed your degree to assist you with employment and further study opportunities.

The Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) is a Commonwealth initiative that has been introduced to ensure Australian qualifications are recognised and renowned throughout the world. The AHEGS will describe a higher education qualification in an easily understandable way, relating it to the system within which it was issued and describing qualifications in a clear and consistent way to potential employers and other higher education institutions.

The AHEGS does not replace either the Testamur or the Academic Transcript. The AHEGS will contain information about your achievements that are not currently reflected on the Academic Transcript.
