The Declaration of Geneva Ceremony (PDF 176.7 KB) precedes the graduation ceremony and is held at the Hobart Town Hall. It is open to all friends and family of a graduating student.
The Ceremony takes place because of the encouragement of the late Dr Keith Millingen and others who recognised the opportunity to publicly acknowledge individual doctors' responsibility to patients and society.
Historically based on the Hippocratic Oath, the Ceremony is an important part of the transition from student to doctor.
Refer to UTAS Graduation for more information.
Please make sure you collect your academic gowns the day prior to the Ceremony. These can be collected between 2pm and 8pm from the Lower Level Uni Centre, Sandy Bay Campus. Refer to UTAS Graduation (Academic Dress) for more information.
Each year the School takes a group photo prior to the Declaration of Geneva Ceremony.
The cost is $5.00 (excluding postage). Order copies
The handbook is quite extensive and it is recommended that students check the handbook and the website if they have queries.
In the handbook it states that students are allocated three tickets and can apply for more depending on availability. In past years students have also negotiated with fellow students who may not need all three tickets.
The day of graduation is a busy one for students. Refer to the Graduation Day Timetable 2011 (PDF 27.3 KB) for more information.
