Graduation Gowns & Academic Dress

Bachelor graduation gowns.

If you are looking for affordability, see our polyester graduation gown, our most popular type of academic gown. We also manufacture Australian made gowns in superfine wool or wool poly blend fabric. All our graduation gowns come with a complimentary robe bag.

Master Graduation Gowns

A masters gown is worn by masters degree graduates. This type of graduation gown features full-length sleeves, with an opening in the sleeve through which you put your arms. A masters graduation gown will, therefore, appear more lengthy, draped and distinguishable from the bell-shaped sleeved bachelor graduation gown.

Graduation Gown Sets by University

Choose your graduation gown set by University. All sets include a free gown bag and free standard shipping. All garments are delivered pressed and ready to wear. You can choose to upgrade your graduation gown set with our certified Australian made wool blend or superfine wool options.

PhD & Doctorate Graduation Gowns

A PhD gown is worn by PhD award recipients. In Australia, the most common PhD gowns are referred to as either the Oxford style PhD gown, or the Cambridge style PhD gown, however many universities prescribe other designs for PhD award graduates. PhD gowns are also worn with a PhD hood and PhD bonnet or mortar board.

Academic Colours - Graduation Hoods & Stoles

The coloured hood, stole or sash you wear at your graduation ceremony represents both your university and the type of award you have achieved. It signifies your level of study, whether it be a bachelor degree, a master degree, diploma or certificate. The graduation colour usually denotes your area of study or faculty. Therefore there are many different styles and colours across Australian Universities.

Graduation Mortar Boards & Bonnets

Mortar boards, also called trenchers, graduation hats, or graduation caps, have a sculpted crown which goes over the head, topped by a square shaped board and tassel attached to the top of the cap. Graduation bonnets, also called Tudor bonnets or PhD hats, are generally made using velvet and lined with satin. They feature a broad rim surrounding the soft body of the crown. A coloured cord with two tassel ends is attached to the rim of the crown.

University Chancellor Gowns

A Chancellor robe is a formal gown worn by the university Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Pro and/or Deputy Chancellors. Chancellor robes may also be worn by managing directors and other heads of an institution. Each university will have academic gown specifications unique to the institution regarding Chancellor Regalia.

Academic dress photo gallery

Below you can find examples of academic dress for each faculty at UTS.

For all coursework and Masters by Research graduates, academic dress is comprised of a black gown, a hood in the colour of the faculty at the level of the award, and a trencher (cap). Graduation ceremonies are formal occasions so it’s important to wear appropriate clothing. When choosing what to wear it might be helpful to consider that academic gowns are quite heavy and can be very warm. When wearing academic dress, the hood should hang evenly from the shoulders. The trencher is worn straight on the head with the tassel hanging over the right side. The trencher is worn throughout the ceremony except during the national anthem.

PhD graduates wear a red gown with white satin facing and a black velvet soft bonnet with gold cord and tassel. The bonnet (cap) is worn straight on the head with the tassel hanging over the right side.

Arts and Social Sciences

Engineering and information technology,   information technology , phd academic dress for all faculties.

In Europe, education was the preserve of the monasteries until the twelfth century; academic gowns have their origins in the lay costumes of that time. Festal gowns worn by the Chancellor, Deputy Chancellor, Pro-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellor are based on the traditional British gowns from these offices, but contain Australian features such as the embroidery depicting Sydney wattle. The trencher grew out of the pileus or hat worn at Oxford and Cambridge universities around the seventeenth century. The design of the academic dress worn by UTS graduates is unique to the University, with the lining of the hoods featuring different colours for each faculty. The number and colour of the bands on the edge of the lining designate the level of the award. Recipients of some undergraduate and associate diplomas may also wear a sash.

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.

Trust the Experts

No company knows better than Oak Hall what an integral role graduation regalia plays in the day's ceremonies and festivities. Graduates reaching out to accept diplomas while wearing Oak Hall gowns have graced college commencements for over 130 years.

Oak Hall At A Glance

I work with Oak Hall year round. They are by far my favorite vendor to work with . The staff is attentive, experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated . I enjoy the fact that I never have to leave a message on a machine and wait for someone to return my call. If the person I am trying to reach is unavailable, there is always someone else ready to help .

Because Oak Hall's focus is on cap and gowns, I have experienced improvements in our overall level of customer service since switching to them. In situations where I have had to order last minute regalia for students or faculty, Oak Hall has been able to resolve the issue and get me what I need by the expected deadline. If you are a school or bookstore thinking of switching to Oak Hall, I would recommend them with strong approval.

Oak Hall has consistently delivered the best quality product on time . Any last-minute needs are taken care of quickly. I know I can call the day before graduation and still get what we need. That peace of mind is invaluable under the stress of commencement.
