Know your robes

Jon Barnes (BA 2007)

Graduation is the culmination of years of hard work, and the pageantry and processions rightly celebrate that. But just what is the significance of those robes? Why are some hoods different colours? Our Surviving Graduation series continues, with our Graduation Gown Guide (or, Know Your Robes!)

Undergraduates

First up let’s look at the most familiar ones. Black gown, with a square black cap. The academic cap, sometimes called a mortarboard, is a square black board, on top of a black skullcap with a black tassel. The undergraduate gown is black, with a bell shaped sleeve (that realistically you don’t see that much because of the way it’s worn). But where things start to get interesting is in the hood.

All the hoods at Cardiff University graduation ceremonies are red on the outside. Where the variety in hood colours comes into play is in the lining. Each type of degree has a different style of hood, so you can spot who is graduating on any given day if you’re eagle eyed enough to pick up on the different flashes of colour.

Diploma : powder blue silk lining. These will be worn by any graduands (which is what a student becomes when they’ve successfully completed the examinations to attain a degree but not been awarded it) receiving the Diploma of Higher Education, Graduate Diploma, Postgraduate Diploma

Certificate : beige silk lining. Worn by those receiving the Certificate of Higher Education, Graduate Certificate, Postgraduate Certificate, and Postgraduate Certificate in Education.

Extended Bachelor and Integrated Master : soft white silk lining edged with royal blue. Worn by those who have studied a Bachelors and Masters in one go: BDS, MBBCh, MArch, MChem, MEng, MESci, MMath, MPharm, MPhys. The lining is the same colour as the Taught Masters indicating that the two were studied together!

Postgraduates

Research Master : lilac silk lining. A slightly less commonly seen Masters robe – so we’re awarding you an extra ten points if you spot anyone receiving an MPhil, MRes, or MScD by Research

Masters graduands wear a different gown, it’s still black but the sleeves are full length – but they are closed off at the end, with the arm poking through a slit above the elbow.

Which brings us on to the Doctorates. Those receiving Doctorates wear a Cardiff Red gown with full sleeves that have a coloured lining. They also get additional splashes of colour, known as facings, on the front of their gown. They also wear a slightly different hat, known as a bonnet – which is round and has a black and silver tassel. Doctorates come in two flavours:

Senior Doctorate : pale gold facings, sleeve linings and hood lining edged with silver grey. Absolutely top i-spy honours if you manage to spot anyone receiving the prestigious DD, DDSc, DLitt, DMus, DSc, DScEcon, or LLD.

And finally…

So now, armed with our i-spy guide to the streets of Cardiff, you’re a little bit better equipped for Surviving Graduation.

What our customers say….

Jayne is so very helpful and accommodating! She provided a bespoke set of doctoral robes which look exquisite! The quality of material was very good, the stitching was so neat and perfect, the fit is great as well. And she sent everything so very quickly as I needed it in a rush. Highly recommend

Wow. I just received my Leicester PhD gown and it is perfect. Jayne has obviously taken great care with the intricate cut and design and I am completely satisfied. Superb customer service too.

In a word, exceptional. Despite being on the other side of the world, the ease of communication was outstanding, and I felt heard and understood when it came to the specifics of my request. Ultimately this has led to delivery of a finished product that is of rare quality and whose wearers are extremely proud. Highly recommended without hesitation.

Recently Jayne has made a doctoral toga for me. The craftsmanship of her work is outstanding: attention to detail, meticulous stitching, and a perfect fit… I highly recommend Jayne to anyone in need of a custom-made garment, especially for special occasions. Her skill and dedication truly shine through in her work.

I recently asked jayne to make a hood for my daughter graduation which I received today 27th of April via special delivery it is absolutely lovely and good quality would recommend jayne for your graduation attire thank you so much jayne. keep up the good work from a very proud mum of kacey gale who will have the honour of wearing it.

I commissioned Jayne to make my Royal College of Music robes, and the results are absolutely stunning. She was a pleasure to work with, and her commitment to create exactly what was needed resulted in a beautiful set, far superior to anything else I own.

Jayne recently created a stunning PhD robe for me from Canterbury Christ Church University. Her work is of superlative quality. She even took the trouble to research and have created the correct embossed satin to complete the commission with accuracy.

I commissioned Jayne to make me a University of Bristol, Theology PhD hood for use as clergy choir dress. I am really pleased with the result and have already worn it twice and received very positive comments. I highly recommend Jayne and would certainly use her creative services again. Many thanks.

Academic Dress

Overview of academic dress.

The origins of today’s academic dress including the robe, hood and classical cap trace back to the first universities in medieval times. Students wore long, sober clothing reflecting their status in society and identifying them as scholars.Whilst fashions changed, the sense of purpose and propriety evoked by formal academic dress along with practicalities of marking students out in a crowd ensured that the traditional garments were kept.

Many Oxbridge colleges, schools and some ecclesiastical services still use the gown and hood, however it is more commonly seen at degree ceremonies.

“Ede & Ravenscroft continues to supply academic dress to institutions around the world combining an attention to historical detail with a modern touch.”

Please book your graduation outfit at least 21 days before your Ceremony.

Q. How can I confirm that my order has been placed? A. You can see if your order has been placed by accessing the Review / Amend order screen which can be entered from the home page drop down menu.

Q. I am unable to print my confirmation e-mail - can I collect my gown without it? A. It is not imperative that you have the printed copy, but take a note of the number - which can be found on the Review / Amend order screen, as it does speed things up at the ceremony, in any event, our representatives will have detailed lists on the day of your ceremony.

Q. What forms of payment do you accept? A. Credit Cards: Visa, Mastercard  Debit cards: Visa Debit, Maestro and Electron

Q. Can I go into my nearest shop to place my order in person? A.  In order for us to process the orders efficiently, orders should be placed via the website or the Call Centre.

“We will help you put your graduation outfit on, and ensure that you are wearing it correctly.”

ABOUT YOUR GRADUATION OUTFIT

Q. What does full outfit mean? A. Full outfit means all the required items for the award that you are receiving and is usually a gown, hood and hat although this varies according to the institution.

Q. How will I know how to wear the outfit? A. We will help you put it on and ensure you are wearing it correctly.  

WHEN TO PLACE YOUR ORDER

Q. How much notice is required before I book my graduation outfit? A. Please book early to be sure of your order as we cannot always guarantee an order if you leave your booking later than 21 days before your Ceremony (being the date agreed for the Hire outfit to be available). Please check the website to see if the ceremony date option is still available or contact the Call Centre to establish if it is still open to book.

Q. What can I do if I am too late to order my outfit on-line? A. You may be able to place a late order.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a high level globally-recognised qualification that is rooted in original research.

The qualification is awarded for the outcomes of a period of advanced, individual study which demonstrates an original contribution of new knowledge or practice to your chosen discipline.

Studying for a PhD provides you with a unique and exciting opportunity to explore a research topic in real depth.

At the same time you will learn relevant research and professional skills. You will be expected to take the initiative and to develop your own ideas whilst guided and supported by your supervisory team.

The experience of undertaking a PhD will differ between subject areas. Some PhD projects are deliberately multi- or inter-disciplinary, exploring topics at the boundaries of traditional subjects, or applying approaches associated with a range of disciplines to a single research area.

All of our Academic Schools have PhD opportunities. Search our courses for a particular research area. Alternatively, if you’re not ready for a full PhD programme, we offer Research Master's degrees to prepare students for PhD study.

Types of PhD programmes

Practice-based PhD study is more commonly available in the creative and performing arts, where creative work forms a significant part of the intellectual inquiry.

The research investigation is undertaken partly by means of the creative process, while the thesis is formed of a piece of original creative work supported by a narrative and critique that places the work in an academic context.

We offer a number of practice-based PhDs including:

• the School of Music's PhD by Performance and PhD by Composition ,
• the School of English, Communication and Philosophy's PhD in Creative and Critical Writing .

Designed for those who have already accumulated suitable published work demonstrating a coherent research direction (as much as a conventional PhD).

In addition to the published works, students provide a 5,000 - 10,000 word critical commentary evaluating their field and indicating the original contribution to learning they have made.

To be eligible, you must have:

• graduated from Cardiff University six or more years ago, or
• been a member of staff for six years, or
• been the holder of an honorary title from Cardiff University for six years

If you meet one of these criteria and are interesting in finding out more, please contact your Academic School .

For many subjects the demands of advanced study and research for a PhD require a demonstration of relevant skills and understanding at Master’s level as a condition of entry.

For some PhD programmes there is the need for Master’s level training to be specifically tailored to the demands of PhD research in that discipline. This may be delivered as a linked package (e.g. the "1+3" model), or via a continuous PhD programme that has embedded within it a structured component of preparatory research skills and methods training.

We offer the following Integrated PhDs:

• Integrative Neuroscience (4 year Wellcome Trust)
• Cancer Studies (4 year)
• Economics (4 year PhD including two years of teaching, coursework and research training)
• Social Sciences (1+3 year PhD including 1 year MSc in Social Science Research Methods which is mandatory for ESRC funded students who do not meet the core training requirements)

While the majority of research degrees are taken at universities and other higher education institutions, there are also some opportunities for collaborative study with an external partner.

This may mean, for example, that the project is sponsored by a company, that you spend some of your time in the workplace of the partner or that the partner contributes resources or expertise to the project.

A collaborative PhD can allow you to benefit from the input of industrialists and policy-makers and to experience first-hand the direct impact of your research.

Collaborative PhDs can include:

• CASE Studentships (Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering)
• Specifically advertised funded projects

Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarship for Research Excellence

Full tuition fee funding and an annual stipend to support self-funding full-time PhD international students for up to three years.

This was UCF students’ second rally calling for a ceasefire and for the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel amid a nationwide movement across college campuses.

Saturday’s protest was peaceful as hundreds of police on bicycles lined Memory Mall. Students had until midnight to protest and leave and had cleared the area by 7 p.m.

The protest came on the anniversary of the 1970 Kent State University demonstrations that left four dead and wounded nine after the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students protesting the war in Vietnam.

Protesters at UCF said the date was especially significant as about 2,000 students nationwide have been arrested for protesting the war in Gaza.

About 9,800 degrees were expected to be awarded throughout the weekend at the Addition Financial Arena, which comes after the State University System of Florida sent a statewide memo on Wednesday urging universities not to cancel or disrupt graduation ceremonies as students protest.

Students chanted “45,000 dead and you’re arresting kids instead”  as crowds of parents and graduates walked alongside Memory Mall. Many chanted in support or filmed the scene on their phones.

One of those recent graduates, George Brussenskiy, stopped and watched in support of the protest minutes after receiving his PhD in electrical engineering.

“Hopefully UCF will take certain measures to listen to students and take meaningful action,” Brussenskiy said. “There’s so many innocent civilians dying in Gaza and they’re human beings just like you and me. So, if another human being is suffering, we have to speak up.”

George and his wife Natalee, who is from Palestine, want UCF to divest from any companies that provide weapons to Israel. They believe because the university has such a large student body, it could have a meaningful impact.

“UCF brings into the workforce a lot of engineers, especially students that work in the weapons manufacturing, so through divestment UCF could put pressure on these companies to stop selling weapons and arms to Israel,” Natalee said.

Protesters called for UCF to “disclose and divest,” a practice protest organizer and Palestinian Tamara, said has been difficult to get the university to do. She did not want to disclose her last name over fear of retaliation from the university. Tamara graduated recently from UCF with a degree in elementary education but is back to complete a masters.

“UCF’s investment profiles and portfolios are incredibly hidden and difficult to find,” Tamara said. “We want them to divest from these companies that we had to seriously search for to even find that they were partnering with.”

Tamara and the other protesters specifically called out UCF’s relationship to weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin and Siemens, who they want the university to cease relationships with.

Tamara said she feels speaking out is her duty.

“I didn’t choose to be here in America. My family left for our safety and I had the privilege to leave,” Tamara said. “The only difference between the people dying over there and me is a plane ride, so it’s my responsibility to take action and help them in whatever way I can.”

Fostering Success office begins cap and gown donation program

What happens to caps and gowns after graduation? Usually they end up hanging in the back of the closet, before landing in a garage sale, landfill or donation bin.

Now, UWM has a way to recycle those caps and gowns and save some future graduates a little money. A group of campus offices is involved in the effort.

Starting with May 2024 commencement, graduates and alumni have the opportunity to donate their caps and gowns through a new recycling program.

The caps and gowns will be available for December undergraduates who face challenges in affording the regalia to celebrate their accomplishments.

Costs of the garments vary according to the degree but can be pricey, currently ranging from $57 for associate and bachelor’s degrees to $271 for doctoral degree recipients. (Doctoral graduation gear is the only kind that can be rented, for $116.)

May graduates this year can donate their caps and gowns after the ceremony. Collection boxes will be available at the UWM Panther Arena, where commencement is held.

Alumni and recent graduates can donate at the following locations:

• On campus at Vogel Hall at 3253 N. Downer Ave.
• The Hefter Conference Center 3271 N. Lake Drive.
• The UWM Panther Shop in the Student Union.

The apparel will be distributed to undergraduate students in need for December graduation, starting in late November. The recycling team will start reaching out to students in select programs, according to Tawney Latona, Fostering Success coordinator. Any Pell grant-eligible student who can’t afford the graduation apparel can receive the items at no cost. Students who receive the caps and gowns will be encouraged to return them for use by future graduates.

The project began through a $1,000 grant from Delta Kappa Gamma, a professional organization for women educators.

Campus offices involved in the project include:

• Fostering Success
• Center for Student Experience and Talent
• Alumni Relations
• Student Parent Success Program
• Student Involvement
• Office of Sustainability
• Academic Advising
• Inclusive Excellence Center
• Commencement
• Roberto Hernandez Center
• Dean of Students

Additional information is available on the Cap and Gown Recycling webpage .
