DEGREE HOODS
  • Degree hoods are usually black with a coloured lining that denotes the qualification being awarded.
  • Bachelor Degree hoods have white fur trim.
  • Bachelor with Honours degree hoods have an additional qualification colour strip of satin under the fur on the outside edge of the hood.
  • Masters’ Degree Hoods have coloured lining with no white fur trim
  • PhD Degree hoods are made entirely of red satin. Higher Doctoral Degree hoods are made entirely of satin in the colour that denotes the Doctoral qualification being awarded.
  • The hood is one size only, and is worn hanging down the wearers back.
  • The hood is kept in position by the neckband which is passed over the wearers head. The hood is draped at the back to show a section of the colour lining on the right shoulder.
  • As hoods are heavy and lined with satin they will slide off the shoulder easily. It is recommended to purchase a Kate Edger hood pin to secure the neckband to the gown to ensure the hood stays in place for the wearer.
