From gold medals to university, the dreams never stop for Paralympian Liam Malone.

Today he has graduated from Victoria University, with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and International Business.

It's a degree he studied for while also training for and competing in the Rio Paralympics.

The 23-year-old runner smashed the men's 400 metre record held by Oscar Pistorius at the Rio Olympics last year.

Malone told Mike Hosking this morning he doesn't plan to slow down any time soon.

"The next goal is run faster than Usain Bolt, make myself seven foot tall. That's going to be difficult, but possible, and I think it needs to be done."

Malone said competing and studying was difficult but he had good intentions and put time aside for his university work while in Rio.

He said he's not sure what he'll do with his degree.

"A number of things help to open doors and that comes along with dreaming big and working really really hard so, we'll see."
