Graduation Ceremonies

Graduation Ceremonies

OUR GRADUATIONS

MU Graduation Ceremonies are filled with joy and celebration as they unfold in the Auditorium Maximum of Modul University Vienna.

These special events are a high point in our calendar, where we honor the achievements of graduates from both the Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Professional Schools.

The celebratory atmosphere is enhanced by live music during and after the ceremony. After the presentation of diplomas and the traditional tug on the mortarboard tassel from the University President, graduating students and their guests are invited to join us for a joyful reception, providing an ample opportunity to celebrate this fantastic achievement together.

Graduation day is a proud and memorable occasion for MU students and their families. Below you can find all the information on what you can expect from your big day.

VALEDICTORIANS

The title Valedictorian is bestowed to a student for having the highest academic record of all graduating students in a particular academic year. The tradition at Modul University Vienna is to record the speeches of all MU Valedictorians for all time in a formal register, which allows them to share their special reflections and make them available for others to read.
