Academic dress of the National University of Ireland

The current academic dress of the National University of Ireland was simplified following a review in 1999.

The hoods are primarily green, representing Ireland, and generally follow the design of Dublin or Belfast.

[2] Academic dress is currently worn during formal occasions such as conferring ceremonies at the constituent universities and recognised colleges, except for University College Dublin,[3] where the traditional academic dress was removed in 2013 in favour of a more simple design.

The faculty colours form an important part of the academic dress of the University, and distinguish graduates from different disciplines.

The unique scheme for University College Dublin removes the faculty colours and has only one hood, gown and cap for each level of degree.
