Academic dress of University of Melbourne

The academic dress of the University of Melbourne refers to the formal attire, including robes, gowns, and hoods, as prescribed by the Statutes and Regulations[1] for undergraduates, graduates, officers, and honorands of the university.

This follows the style of the University of Oxford for the gowns and hoods for Bachelors and Masters degrees.

[2] However, as of 2023, the university has revised its regulations, allowing all Bachelors to receive a mortar board at their ceremony and granting permission to have photographs taken with it.

A bonnet with a gold cord completes the ensemble for higher doctorate holders.

Dignitaries, officers, staff, graduates and students wear academic dress at public ceremonies of the University of Melbourne.
