No dress is specified for holders of undergraduate or postgraduate diplomas or certificates (including the Postgraduate Certificate in Education), or for undergraduates (although see the remark on ushers below).

Gowns

Five types of gowns are worn by graduates of the University:

Bachelors, as well as holders of foundation degrees and advanced first degrees (MMath, etc) wear a black stuff gown with long, pointed, open sleeves. This is the standard bachelor's gown, denoted [b1] in the Groves classification system.

Masters wear a black stuff or silk gown with long closed sleeves and inverted-T armholes, and small cut-out portions at the front and back of the bottom end. This is denoted [m15] in the Groves classification system. This gown is also designated as the undress gown for doctors.

Doctors of Clinical Psychology in full dress wear a gown of black silk or stuff with long, open sleeves of the Cambridge/London higher doctoral style (denoted [d1] in the Groves classification.). The facings are covered with 3" taffeta (1" scarlet on the inner edge and 1" royal blue on the outer edge); the sleeves are lined with royal blue taffeta, faced inside with 3" scarlet taffeta, turned back and gathered at the elbows with royal blue cord and buttons. This degree being awarded jointly with Coventry University, the style includes elements of both institutions' schemes of academic dress.

Holders of other first doctorates (PhD, etc) in full dress wear the master's gown in black silk or stuff, faced 3" with taffeta of the relevant faculty colour.

Holders of higher doctorates (DSc, DLitt, LLD) in full dress wear a red gown of the Oxford doctoral style ([d2] in Groves' classification) with sleeve edging and facings of the relevant faculty colour.

In addition, although no gown is specified for undergraduates, in recent years non-graduate ushers at ceremonial occasions have taken to wearing a black undergraduate-style gown ([u1] in Groves' system) with red piping around the yoke, identical to that formerly specified for undergraduates of the Victoria University of Manchester.

Hoods

Hoods of two different shapes are specified for graduates of the University. Bachelors, and holders of foundation degrees and advanced first degrees (MMath, etc) wear a hood of black corded rayon in simple shape (actually Burgon shape, denoted [s2] in the Groves system) fully lined and bound on the cowl and neckband with taffeta of the appropriate faculty colour.

Holders of graduate degrees wear a hood of a modified Aberdeen shape ([a1] in Groves' system) which the regulations refer to as "special shape". This is fully lined and bound on the cowl and cape with taffeta of the relevant faculty colour. In the case of masters (including Masters of Philosophy) the shell is of black corded rayon, for Doctors of Philosophy the shell is of maroon cloth, for Doctors of Engineering, Education and Medicine the shell is of crimson cloth, and for higher doctors (Doctors of Science, of Letters and of Law) the shell is of red cloth.

The hood for Doctors of Clinical Psychology is, according to the Calendar, of black corded rayon, fully lined with royal blue and scarlet taffeta, but in practice the hood supplied and actually worn is scarlet lined (but not bound) with royal blue taffeta.

Upon its introduction in 1985, the hood for the degreee of Master of Engineering was in Aberdeen shape (as for the other masters' degrees) however this was changed to Burgon shape in 1997 to bring it into line with the new four-year first degrees (MMath, etc).

Headwear

Two types of hat are worn by graduates of the University:

Bachelors, Masters, holders of foundation degrees, and Doctors in undress wear a black cloth mortarboard.

Doctors in full dress wear a black Tudor bonnet with cord and tassels of the appropriate faculty colour. In the case of higher doctors (DSc, DLitt and LLD) the bonnet is of black velvet; for other doctors the bonnet is of black cloth. Doctors of Clinical Psychology have twisted cord and tassels of scarlet and royal blue; Doctors of Philosophy have red and green twisted cord and tassels.
