About the University of South Australia The University of South Australia (UniSA) is Australia’s University of Enterprise. It is known for its culture of innovation anchored around global and national links to academic, research and industry partners. Its graduates are global professionals at ease with the world and ready to create and respond to change. Its research is inventive and adventurous and it creates new knowledge that is central to global economic and social prosperity.
Its reputation continues to grow. It is considered one of the world’s best young universities, ranked 30th in the World’s Top 50 Under 50 by the Quacarelli Symonds’ 2020 rankings and 26th in Times Higher Education’s 2019 THE Young University Rankings.
With around 34,000 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. In fact, UniSA is ranked number one in South Australia for graduate careers and employer satisfaction (2016-18 QILT Graduate Outcomes Survey and 2018 Employer Satisfaction Survey).
In the 2018 Excellence in Research Australia rankings, 100 per cent of its detailed research was rated at or above world standard, and the University was rated the best in Australia on a combined metric of Impact, Approach to Impact and Engagement in the Australian Research Council’s research impact assessment.
The University’s strong research environment focuses on areas such as ageing, scarce resources, future industries and cancer prevention and management. The close, collaborative engagement it enjoys with its many industry, government, collegiate and community partners is reflected in its ranking as the No.1 University in Australia for Industry Research Income in the 2019 THE World University Rankings.
The University is also closely engaged with the communities it serves. It has recently opened MOD, Australia’s future-focused museum of science, innovation and design; its Samstag Museum presents a changing exhibitions program of contemporary visual art, and its Hawke Centre engages with local and international communities through public lectures, seminars, and research projects. The University also has a strong equity mission and recently became the first South Australian university to unveil a Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan which creates greater opportunities for Aboriginal peoples in education and employment and embeds their culture into the University.

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 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. The Vice Chancellor may be represented by the Provost and Chief Academic Officer.
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 blue gown adorned with silver oakleaf lace, and black bonnet with blue tassel. The Chancellor’s gown is also blue 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.
When representing the Vice Chancellor the Provost and Chief Academic Officer wears a black Fairford Brocade gown adorned by silver oakleaf lace.
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 gold tassel is the accompanying headwear.
Council members are distinguished with black silk-like gowns with red, blue, and gold 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 ceremony and is led by the Chancellor, followed by the stage party in the reverse order to which it entered.

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.

Pridham HallPridham Hall is named to acknowledge the extraordinary benefaction and leadership of Mr Andrew Pridham AO. Mr Pridham is a proud alumnus of the UniSA Property Resource Management degree (1988).
His transformative gift to the University acknowledges his gratitude to UniSA for his ‘outstanding education’ as well as reflecting his belief in the positive role education can play in one’s life.
Mr Pridham also believes that those that have the capacity to contribute to the broader community should do so generously and encourage others to do the same.
“The University of South Australia is an important institution very worthy of support. Universities develop minds and foster new thinking. It is a privilege for The Pridham Foundation to support UniSA and contribute to this impressive building and be a part of the process of developing future generations.
The first Pridhams arrived in South Australia in 1849, just 13 years after the proclamation of Government in SA. This is an investment of 170 years by my family and its preceding generations. South Australia is important to our family and in particular my direct family, being my parents LR (Bob) and Marie Pridham and my siblings Helen, David, Mary and Richard.
I hope for the great success of all students who pass through the doors of this great hall in the process of their studies at UniSA.“ – Andrew Pridham AO.

You can leave your mark on UniSA
Embed yourself in the DNA of the Pridham HallBy building Pridham Hall we have created a new heart of the University - an iconic venue where thousands of memories will be made.
The state-of-the-art facility features a sports complex, a swimming pool, and facilities for graduations and corporate and cultural events. It is a significant part of the student experience and offers important sport and fitness services to the entire local community, including the new Health Precinct 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 and 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 supports 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
