What do I put on my business card once I've graduated?
Updated

Once you graduate from your program, you are entitled to add post-nominals (abbreviations) after your name on your business card or resume.

To find the correct post-nominal for your program:

  1. Open UniSQ Handbook versions.
  2. Select the year that you completed your program
  3. Select your program
  4. The program name will display as i.e. Bachelor of Human Services (BHMS) - BHS. The bracketed abbreviation (BHMS) is the University's code for the program, and the second abbreviation (BHS) is the correct post-nominal.

Other examples include:

  • Bachelor of Applied Science: BAppSc
  • Bachelor of Business: BBus
  • Bachelor of Arts (Honours): BA (Hons)

If you have more than one degree, your post-nominals should be ordered by precedence from lowest to highest, with the issuing institution's name in italics after the post-nominal, for example: BEd UniSQ MBA UNE

All degrees from the same institution should be placed together, for example: BEng MEng PhD UniSQ

If you are unable to find your program in the handbook, please contact Student Support for further assistance.
