In Australia, a 97 year old man has received a university Master's degree, making him the world's oldest graduate for a second time. Let's take a look.

It's never too late to learn - as demonstrated by a 97-year-old man who broke his own world record on Friday, by graduating from a university in Lismore, Australia, with a master's degree.

Allan Stewart graduated with a master's degree in clinical sciences from Southern Cross University.

The award makes him the world's oldest graduate for a second time.

In 2006 Stewart earned a listing in the Guinness World Records when he completed a law degree at the age of 91.

But having completed his latest record, Stewart says it's now time to relax a bit.

Asked if he was going to attempt any more degrees, he said he plans to ease up.

[Allan Stewart, University Graduate]:
"No, I want to take it easy. I think I've done enough, and I just want to take life easy and do a bit of gardening and visit my family regularly. That's how it goes, for the time being, anyway."

The master's is Stewart's fourth degree.
