About the University of South Australia The University of South Australia (UniSA) is Australia’s University of Enterprise. Our culture of innovation is anchored around global and national links to academic, research and industry partners. Our graduates are global professionals at ease with the world and ready to create and respond to change. Our research is inventive and adventurous and it creates new knowledge that is central to global economic and social prosperity.

Our reputation continues to grow. We are considered one of the world’s best young universities by both Times Higher Education (THE) and Quacarelli Symonds (QS). We are the youngest Australian university to make THE’s World’s Top 250 list (number 9 in Australia); we are also the highest ranked university in Australia for the international diversity of our staff and are ranked 9th in the world on that measure.

With around 32,000 students, almost 6,000 of whom are international students, UniSA is South Australia’s largest university and offers degree programs in business, education, arts, social sciences, health sciences, information technology, engineering and the environment. Programs are designed with strong professional emphasis and in partnership with industry and the professions to ensure the career relevance of its teaching. The Good Universities Guide 2018 rates UniSA as Number One in South Australia for getting a full-time job.

UniSA is committed to providing enhanced educational offerings and an outstanding student experience. Our focus over coming years will be to extend the support we provide to our students, through drawing on emerging digital technologies to provide more personalised and flexible learning opportunities for our students, locally and globally. We are committed to providing education opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds and helping them to be the best they can be.

The University’s strong research environment focuses on areas such as scarce resources, future industries and cancer prevention and management. The close, collaborative engagement we enjoy with our many industry, government, collegiate and community partners ranks UniSA as one of Australia’s leading universities for strategic research partnerships, and in the Excellence in Research for Australia 2015 evaluation more than 97 per cent of our assessed research was deemed to be of world-class standard or above.

The University is also closely engaged with the communities we serve. Our Samstag Museum presents a changing exhibitions program of contemporary visual art, and our Hawke Centre engages with local and international communities through public learning activities including lectures, seminars, alliances and research projects. The University also has a strong equity mission and was the first university in South Australia to have a Reconciliation Action Plan.

We are also committed supporters of the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) and aim to be the University of Choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

With six campuses spread from the heart of Adelaide to the metropolitan area (Mawson Lakes and Magill) and the regional cities of Whyalla and Mount Gambier, the University provides opportunities to students from a wide range of geographic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. We are currently implementing a $1 billion-plus building program to further create engaging learning and research spaces.

HoodsAll University of South Australia hoods are of the Oxford burgon style.

Mortarboard tassels for Indigenous Australian graduatesThe University of South Australia is proud of its commitment to Australian reconciliation. To enable Indigenous Australians to have their ancestry recognised, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates have the option of wearing a mortarboard with a tassel incorporating the colours of the respective flags (red, black and yellow for Aboriginal graduates and blue, green and white for Torres Strait Islander graduates).

History of academic dressAcademic dress has a long history, almost as long as that of universities themselves. It began with the foundation of the European universities in the 12th and 13th centuries. Until that time, education was carried out within the monasteries, such as one at Oxford where divinity, philosophy and arts were studied as early as the 8th century.

It was not until the 12th century that groups of teachers and students gathered together for classes outside monastery walls in a move that was recognisable as the beginnings of universities. Two of the outstanding schools at that time were in Bologna and Paris. During the 13th century the Roman legal word universitas became a common name for study groups. The third great university of the Middle Ages, Oxford, emerged at that time. Much of the symbolism of academic dress is bound up with the history of those early universities which have influenced the creation and maintenance of a distinctive form of dress.

In the earliest times, university statutes concerning academic costume were somewhat vague, and it was not until the late 14th and early 15th centuries, as lay fashions began to change, that universities began to adopt the policy of setting down particular requirements for the shape and cut of academic dress.

Over the centuries, gowns have evolved in various forms from the original outer garment or robe commonly worn by the laity and members of the clergy, to the many modern versions for the various levels of academic awards. Hoods have developed from the head coverings worn by students in the early ages. They were especially useful in inclement weather and in the draughty cloisters of monasteries.

At Canterbury, in the 13th century, the monks’ hoods were lined with fur because of the cold. Windows in those days were not glazed.

It would seem that no matter how young a university is, one of the first priorities is to adopt a style of academic dress which is distinctive.

The University of South Australia is no exception. In 1991, the University acknowledged the academic dress of its predecessor institutions and then in February 1992, the University’s academic dress was determined by the Council and the first graduation ceremonies wearing the new University of South Australia academic dress occurred during April 1992. It is interesting to note that the hood chosen is of Oxford Burgon style while the gown is of the Cambridge style, an interesting link with two of the greatest European universities of the Middle Ages.

Ceremony Tradition

Academic Procession and stage partyThe traditional custom in which dignitaries of the university enter the graduation hall is known as the academic procession. The University of South Australia’s academic procession is led by higher degree graduates and members of the University Council, followed by academic staff and senior management of the University, including the Vice Chancellor. The Chancellor is the last to enter.

Academics sit at the rear of the stage, with higher degree graduates and Council members in the second to front row. The front row is reserved for staff reading graduand names, the academic registrar, senior managers, the Vice Chancellor, guest speaker, honorary award recipients, special guests, and the Chancellor.

In some circumstances the Chancellor may be represented by the Deputy Chancellor or Pro Chancellor.

Academic DressAcademic dress usually reflects the highest academic qualification of the wearer. Special ceremonial gowns are also worn and these represent the wearer’s position and title. The Vice Chancellor can be recognised by the distinctive Fairford Brocade gown adorned with silver oakleaf lace, and black bonnet with blue tassel. The Chancellor’s gown is also Fairford Brocade but incorporates gold oakleaf lace and notably this is worn with a black bonnet finished with a gold tassel.

If you look carefully you will see that this gown also has a combination of gold stripes on each sleeve instead of the silver stripes located on the Vice Chancellor’s gown.

Senior management wear a black gown with blue facing on the front and rear collar, and a black bonnet with silver tassel. The academic registrar wears a similar gown. However you will note that the blue facing is not as wide and the collar is black, and a black mortar board with blue tassel is worn. Readers wear the gown reflecting their highest award, as do Professors receiving the honorary title of Emeritus Professor, and those being awarded with the honorary title of University Fellow. Recipients of honorary Doctor of the University awards wear the prestigious blue University of South Australia honorary doctorate gown trimmed with yellow and red facing, and a red, yellow, and blue hood. A black bonnet with black tassel is the accompanying headwear.

Council members are distinguished with black silk-like gowns with red, blue, and yellow facing, and a black bonnet and gold tassel. Candidates graduating with a PhD wear a black Oxford-style gown with red facing, and those receiving professional doctorates wear the same style gown but with coloured facing representing their discipline.

End of CeremonyThe academic recession signals the end of the graduation ceremony and is led by the Chancellor, followed by the stage party in the reverse order to which it entered. Newly conferred graduates join the signalling their entry to the academic community.

University of South Australia Awards

Degree typesUniversity of South Australia students have a range of program options when undertaking their study. The following are examples of the degree titles you may hear during the graduation ceremony.

Doctor of PhilosophyDoctor of Philosophy programs provide training and education with the objective of producing graduates with the capacity to conduct research independently at a high level of originality and quality.

Professional DoctorateA Professional Doctorate is a rigorous program of advanced study and research, designed specifically to meet the needs of industry and professional groups. Professional Doctorates usually consist of a blend of coursework and research.

Honours degreeThe Honours degree is a separate, stand-alone one-year program of advanced studies for students who demonstrate a high level of achievement upon completion of their pass degree program.

Degree with HonoursA degree with Honours is a program of four or more years in duration, which includes a minimum of one year of advanced studies, for students who demonstrate a high level of achievement in the initial years of their program.

Double degreeA double degree is a program where two contrasting and complementary programs at the same level have been combined to complement each other, such that the core elements of the two awards are undertaken simultaneously and the requirements of each award are fully met. These graduates receive two parchments.

Co-badged degreesA collaborative arrangement between recognised providers, resulting in a single award and may include the co-badging of a single parchment.

Dual degreesCollaborative partnerships between the University of South Australia and another recognised provider enable students to undertake a degree jointly facilitated by both institutions. Graduates of these programs will be issued with parchments from each institution.

You can leave your mark on UniSA

Embed yourself in the DNA of the Pridham HallBy building Pridham Hall we are creating a new heart of the University - an iconic venue where thousands of memories will be made.

The state-of-the-art facility will feature a sports complex, a swimming pool, and facilities for graduations and corporate and cultural events. It will be a significant part of the student experience and offer important sport and fitness services to the entire local community, including the new Health Precinct opening on North Terrace.

Under the guidance of the design teams we have selected three spaces and sculptural forms where we can permanently etch your name and your three words to live by in Pridham Hall to forever inform and inspire future generations of students.

Hundreds of graduates, staff and supporters have already donated $1,000 to embed their name and words, or those of a loved one, into the chandelier, inverted pyramid or the swimming pool.

To find out more about how you too can participate in this unique initiative please visit www.unisa.edu.au/pridhamhall

Support UniSA’s Scholarship FundUniSA’s Scholarship Fund provides scholarships, grants and prizes that recognise academic achievement and give vital financial support to students who need it most.

UniSA has more students from a disadvantaged background than any other university in South Australia, and there are many students at UniSA for whom money is a real issue. Many have multiple jobs to support themselves, some come from remote rural areas, and more than 25 per cent have little financial support at home - which puts them at risk of not completing their degrees and foregoing their dream.

The fund will support students tackling the problems of the world as they progress through masters and PhD studies, as well as students just starting out in their undergraduate studies who are finding their purpose and inspiration.

By making a donation to the Scholarship Fund you can help future students. It is a wonderful way of giving back and acknowledging what you have accomplished. To give someone else a boost please visit www.unisa.edu.au/scholarshipfund
