The 2024 European Tour Qualifying School graduates were determined following the conclusion of the 2024 European Tour (DP World Tour) Qualifying School Final Stage which was played 8–14 November at Infinitum Golf in Tarragona, Spain. It was the 47th edition of the European Tour Qualifying School. The top 20 and ties (21 in total) earned status to play on the 2025 European Tour, with the remaining players who finished outside the top 20 and ties, but having made the 72-hole cut, earning status to play on the 2025 Challenge Tour.

It was the first year in which the number of cards available at Q School had been reduced from 25 to 20 (including ties).[1]

Edoardo Molinari won the event, scoring a six-round total of 399 (29 under par)[2] with play being extended by one day due to adverse weather conditions.[3][4] During the tournament, Vince van Veen recorded a round of 59 in round three.[5] Jean Bekirian also became the first player from Armenia to earn a European Tour card,[6] with Ilirian Zalli becoming the first player from Albania to earn a Challenge Tour card.[7]

Graduates who went on to win on the European Tour in 2025 included Ryggs Johnston who won the ISPS Handa Australian Open (December 2024).[8]
