by virtue whereof ...
This is a standard Anglo-American legalism that often appears on diplomas (much less often on course transcripts).

ON SECOND THOUGHT --
There is an alternative, depending on the position of the phrase.
If it appears FOLLOWING an earlier phase in the sentence, "in virtue whereof" is okay, explaining by the student took and passed the courses.
HOWEVER, if it's the FIRST phrase in the sentence, and is followed by something like "...the present diploma has been issued," then the proper English would go something like: "BECAUSE [the student] has taken and passed the corresponding courses, ..."
Apologies if I misinterpreted your original question. (Yet another example of how context rules!)
