Selecting the right gown

There are different designs and colours of robe for each degree, make sure you select the correct gown and hood from the website.

Your degree type is shown in eVision, for example BSc or MA. If you are not sure which robe to choose please contact Ede and Ravenscroft via their contact form.

You must wear the correct gown and hood for your degree. Otherwise, we will not allow you to cross the stage, and you will be graduated in absence.
