Graduation Gowns & Academic Dress

Bachelor graduation gowns.

If you are looking for affordability, see our polyester graduation gown, our most popular type of academic gown. We also manufacture Australian made gowns in superfine wool or wool poly blend fabric. All our graduation gowns come with a complimentary robe bag.

Master Graduation Gowns

A masters gown is worn by masters degree graduates. This type of graduation gown features full-length sleeves, with an opening in the sleeve through which you put your arms. A masters graduation gown will, therefore, appear more lengthy, draped and distinguishable from the bell-shaped sleeved bachelor graduation gown.

Graduation Gown Sets by University

Choose your graduation gown set by University. All sets include a free gown bag and free standard shipping. All garments are delivered pressed and ready to wear. You can choose to upgrade your graduation gown set with our certified Australian made wool blend or superfine wool options.

PhD & Doctorate Graduation Gowns

A PhD gown is worn by PhD award recipients. In Australia, the most common PhD gowns are referred to as either the Oxford style PhD gown, or the Cambridge style PhD gown, however many universities prescribe other designs for PhD award graduates. PhD gowns are also worn with a PhD hood and PhD bonnet or mortar board.

Academic Colours - Graduation Hoods & Stoles

The coloured hood, stole or sash you wear at your graduation ceremony represents both your university and the type of award you have achieved. It signifies your level of study, whether it be a bachelor degree, a master degree, diploma or certificate. The graduation colour usually denotes your area of study or faculty. Therefore there are many different styles and colours across Australian Universities.

Graduation Mortar Boards & Bonnets

Mortar boards, also called trenchers, graduation hats, or graduation caps, have a sculpted crown which goes over the head, topped by a square shaped board and tassel attached to the top of the cap. Graduation bonnets, also called Tudor bonnets or PhD hats, are generally made using velvet and lined with satin. They feature a broad rim surrounding the soft body of the crown. A coloured cord with two tassel ends is attached to the rim of the crown.

University Chancellor Gowns

A Chancellor robe is a formal gown worn by the university Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Pro and/or Deputy Chancellors. Chancellor robes may also be worn by managing directors and other heads of an institution. Each university will have academic gown specifications unique to the institution regarding Chancellor Regalia.

Doctor of Philosophy - Arts

  • Arrow-right #1 University in Australia
  • Course code: DR-PHILART

Course overview

The Doctor of Philosophy – Arts (also known as a PhD or Doctorate) is the highest Arts degree offered by the University of Melbourne. By writing a sustained thesis (80,000–100,000 words) of independent research which examines a specific problem, issue or topic, you will make a significant and original contribution to an existing area of knowledge in your field of study.

While researching for your thesis, you can utilise the specialist support for higher research degree students, including lectures and seminars, three-minute thesis competitions, and research leadership programs. Choose to specialise across the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (GSHSS), as well as in the Asia Institute.

Who is it for?

Entry to the Doctor of Philosophy – Arts requires you attain a minimum grade in an honours year or masters degree. You must also have the sponsorship and approval of a supervisor prior to enrolment. The Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (GSHSS) only accepts applications for Semester 1 commencement – there is no mid-year intake for the PhD. You are expected to begin your degree by the first week of Semester 1.

A Doctor of Philosophy – Arts degree is useful to develop advanced knowledge and experience in your chosen field of specialisation. Researching and writing a thesis refines and cultivates your expertise and theoretical understanding within your chosen subject matter.
