Dress Code

Our advice is that graduands should dress smartly; for men, a dark suit, shirt and tie, kilt or national dress (plus gown and hood) and for women, dark skirt or dress trousers and white top or national dress (plus gown and hood).

All students graduating should wear a gown and hood appropriate to the award to be conferred. See information on the academic dress appropriate to your degree.

Gown Hire

You must hire your academic dress in advance.  This can be bought, or hired, from Ede & Ravenscroft.

Pay by credit or debit card (all major cards accepted) and receive your confirmation and order number all in one transaction.  Before you start, make sure you know your chest and height measurements and have your credit/debit card details available. 

Print your order confirmation and take it with you when you collect your robe and hood on the day of your ceremony.  Please do try and remember to take your confirmation details as this helps the robe company on the day.
