About the University of South Australia The University of South Australia (UniSA) is a young institution with an agile, innovative approach to educating tomorrow’s professionals and solving today’s challenges. As a university of enterprise, its efforts are focused on providing economic and social benefits to the nation and the world.
Formed in 1991 the university has already established a global reputation for the quality and creativity of its graduates and the innovative, outcomes-focused relevance of its research.
Its global reputation continues to grow. It is Australia’s youngest university to be ranked in the Times Higher Education’s top 50 of world universities under 50 years old. It is also ranked in the QS Top 50 under 50. These rankings reflect the dynamism of the university and confirms its place as an industry-connected enterprising university which educates its students for global careers.
With almost 33,000 students, more than 6,000 of whom are international students, UniSA is South Australia’s biggest 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 its graduate employment rates are above the national average. The university is rated Number One in South Australia for the employment rate of our graduates; 91 per cent of those going on to full-time work are employed in a professional occupation within four months of completing their degree.
With campuses in the heart of Adelaide, in the metropolitan area (Mawson Lakes and Magill) and in 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. It is currently implementing a $1 billion-plus building program to further enhance its physical and virtual infrastructure.
The University maintains a strong commitment to teaching and learning, and ranks in the top 10 nationally for the proportion of its staff with a doctorate (73 per cent). In addition, UniSA is the highest ranked university in Australia for the international diversity of its academic staff and is ranked 7th in the world.
The University’s MBA program is one of only three in Australia to have held a five-star rating for seven consecutive years (as awarded by the Graduate Management Association of Australia) and the Business School is one of only eight Australian business schools accredited by EQUIS - the EFMD Quality Improvement System.
Broad collaboration with industry, business and the community shapes its teaching and allows the university to create the highly skilled graduates needed for today’s world.

The university continues to develop a strong research environment, and is home to a range of dedicated research institutes and centres and is a key partner in a number of Cooperative Research Centres that, in collaboration with industry and government, are focused on helping to deliver practical and enduring solutions to real-world problems.
Among the University of South Australia’s priority areas for multidisciplinary research are health sciences, resources and energy sustainability, world-changing designs and technologies, resilient and inclusive societies and the enhanced quality and productivity of working life.
Its research capabilities include the Ian Wark Research Institute for chemical sciences and physical chemistry; the Hawke Research Institute for social sciences; the Sansom Institute for Health Research and the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science.
Other key research groupings are focused on discoveries in the fundamental causes of cancer, and translating these discoveries into new ways to prevent and treat this disease.
The University of South Australia also prides itself on being an integral part of, as well as a committed contributor to, the communities and society that it serves. That commitment is reflected in its vast worldwide alumni network and in the major artistic endeavours, sporting events and public attractions the University embraces and supports.
It is a proud supporter of vital community events including the Adelaide Festival, WOMADelaide’s Planet Talks and the Santos Tour Down Under UCI World Tour cycling race.
Lectures, seminars and research projects presented at the University’s Hawke Centre attract national and international speakers and offer informed viewpoints on key global issues through events such as the annual Hawke Lecture, and the Nelson Mandela Lecture Series.
With its thought-provoking programs and exhibitions, the Samstag Museum of Art is one of Australia’s pre-eminent contemporary art museums. It is recognised for its excellence and leadership, and its reputation is integral to the University being recognised as a leading Australian cultural institution.
Across the University, our broad range of programs is designed to increase opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and those who have experienced educational, social or geographical disadvantage. It was the first Australian university to make a formal commitment to reconciliation and to embed this in the institution’s core values. It was the first South Australian university to develop its own Reconciliation Action Plan which is a framework for cultural change and commits the university to develop better opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Embed yourself in the DNA of the Great HallBy building the Great Hall we are creating a new heart of the University - an iconic venue where thousands of memories will be made.
It will house graduation ceremonies in South Australia, as well as provide a venue for sports meets and alumni and corporate functions.
It has been designed by award-winning South Australian firm JPE Design Studio, in association with internationally renowned Norwegian architecture firm, Snøhetta (working on its first Australian project), as well as South Australia’s own JamFactory.
Under the guidance of this design team we have selected three spaces and sculptural forms where we can etch your name and your three words to live by in key parts of the Great Hall.
Your name and three words will become a permanent fixture within a sculptural form embedded in the Chandelier, Inverted Pyramid or Swimming Pool that will be forever informing and inspiring generations of students, staff, alumni and visitors.
Two of our donors share their storyMargaret Duncan, Bachelor of Accounting 1991, founder MDCS Accounting and Consultant at xpal tax & accounting:
“I am proud of where UniSA is and where it is going, both in Australia and globally, and I believe that the Great Hall is part of this vision for the future.”
“UniSA opened up my opportunities; I was a mature-age student and a single mother. In allowing me to bring my young children into the lectures and offering flexibility in study, the University opened up the new beginnings for my future.”
David Dahm, Bachelor of Accounting 1989, CEO and Founder of Health & Life Practice Advisors:
“I got a lot from my time studying at the University of South Australia and received a high quality education. Still to this day, I continue to use my degree and draw upon what I learnt. There is sincerity in the teaching at UniSA. The decision to donate to the Great Hall is my way of giving back to the University and saying ‘thank you’. The skills I received from UniSA have helped me throughout my successful career.”
