Graduates are encouraged to wear a suit, or jacket and trousers/skirt and a shirt/blouse (with button to enable hood to be secured). Traditional dress is welcomed.
Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and sports attire (including football and rugby shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and trainers/plimsolls) are not permitted. Please note that headwear other than academic, cultural or religious is not permitted.
We reserve the right to exclude any graduates from their ceremony who are considered to be dressed inappropriately.
It is not compulsory for graduates attending an Oxford Brookes University graduation ceremony at our main campus to wear academic dress, however those who wish to do so are required to make their own hire/purchase arrangements. The University's prefered supplier of the correct Academic Dress is Ede & Ravenscroft and gowns can be ordered from the Ede & Ravenscroft website.
