Karen Coe and Isaiah Church completed the Graduate Certificate in Wiradjuri Language, Culture and Heritage after studying part-time across 2023 and 2024.
The pair graduated on April 14 after taking on the course together despite being from different generations.
Ms Coe, a proud Wiradjuri and Bundjalung woman, took on the course to strengthen her fluency in language after growing up in a time when she was prevented from speaking it.
She explained what the experience meant to her.
"I've grown up in an era where I was stopped from speaking my language," Ms Coe said.
"But I can honestly say that I was so very proud that Isaiah chose to do it with me.
"I went to university to do this course after I supported him to complete year 12."
