Academic Dress
and Dress Code
PLEASE NOTE:
JEANS AND
TRAINERS ARE
NOT PERMITTED.
All graduands must wear an academic
gown and hood appropriate to the
award to be conferred. When should I order my academic dress?
We advise that you order your gown and hood before
the deadline of Friday 7 June 2019. Availability cannot
be guaranteed for orders after this date.
How do I know which gown and hood to choose?
Academic dress relates to the qualification you will be
awarded (e.g. BA, MSc, PGCert) rather than your subject.
For example: Dress code
Graduation ceremonies are a formal occasion, which
is reflected in the dress of graduands and their guests.
Graduands should wear suits/trousers, shirt and tie/smart
dress/blouse with skirt or trousers.

USEFUL TIPS:
• Wearing a shirt and tie or a blouse with buttons will
make it easier to fix the hood of your academic dress.
• Hair pins are useful to secure the mortarboard (hat).
• Safety pins can be used to secure gowns and hoods.
