The Business School will award the most degrees, with 325 Bachelors of Commerce while 138 students will be awarded Bachelors of Science and 136 Bachelors of Arts.
UWA Vice-Chancellor Professor Alan Robson said the University was proud to continue producing graduates who were able contribute to global solutions and whose qualifications were recognised alongside those from other leading universities.
"Our graduates - many of whom will live and work internationally - help to drive local economies, support civil society and lead effective governments," Professor Robson said.
"The range of skills and accomplishments represented by our graduates exemplifies the breadth of the University itself, where we are fortunate to have leaders in every field of human endeavour."
