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 ranked 24th in the QS World’s Top 50
universities under 50 years-old and was
most recently rated in the top two percent
of the most innovative universities in Asia by
Reuters.
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). Its MBA program consistently
ranks amongst the best in the country,
holding a five-star rating for eight
consecutive years (as awarded by the
Graduate Management Association of
Australia).
The Training School
1876
With around 32,000 students, including
almost 6,000 of whom are international
students, UniSA offers degree programs in
business, education, arts, social sciences,
health sciences, information technology,
engineering and the environment that are
designed with strong professional emphasis
and in partnership with industry. Its graduate
employment rates are above the national
average. The University is rated Number
One in South Australia for the employment
rate of its graduates; 90 per cent of those
going on to full-time work are employed in a
professional occupation within four months
of completing their degree.
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 new
multi-million dollar Future Industries
Institute (FII) which focuses on building
knowledge and capacity in core future
industries; the Hawke Research Institute,
Australia’s largest social science and

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.
Across the University, its broad range
of programs is designed to increase
opportunity for Aboriginal 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
people.

History of academic dress
Academic 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.
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.
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

Ceremony
Tradition
Academic Procession and stage party
The 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 Dress
Academic 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 Fairford Brocade gown
adorned with silver oakleaf lace, and black
bonnet with blue tassel. The Chancellor’s
gown is also blue 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 Ceremony
The 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 recession,
signalling their entry to the academic
community.

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 Philosophy
Doctor 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 Doctorate
A 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 degree
The Honours degree is a separate, standalone one-year program of advanced
studies for students who demonstrate a
high level of achievement upon completion
of their pass degree program.
Degree with Honours
A 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 degree
A 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 degrees
A collaborative arrangement between
recognised providers, resulting in a single
award and may include the co-badging of a
single parchment.
Dual degrees
Collaborative 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.

Alumni
Alumni Network
The University of South Australia supports
a thriving worldwide community of its
graduates through its alumni network.
Upon receiving their degrees, our graduates
automatically become members of an
alumni network that includes more than
195,000 of their colleagues and extends
across more than 150 countries.
Keeping up to date
University of South Australia alumni
are able to keep up to date with the
achievements of fellow graduates and the
University by receiving monthly electronic
copies of UniSANews, Alumni Update
and, periodically, Enterprise magazine.
Alumni are also able to maintain their
University email account for life, join and
follow alumni social media platforms, and
reconnect with and mentor fellow alumni
in the new online community - UniSA
Global Alumni Connect. The University
Alumni Dashboard on the UniSA App will be
available soon.
Continuing to learn
University of South Australia alumni
exclusively receive special library
membership for free, providing ongoing
access to the University’s vast learning
resources and receive invitations to
special public lectures and the University’s
International Seminar Series that feature
leading academics and thinkers.
Advancing careers
The alumni network maintains a dedicated
business directory that outlines discounted
services available for fellow alumni, and
the University’s career services program
also provides continuing advice on career
development and forums to facilitate
contact with employers and professional
bodies.
Staying in touch
Reunion events are held in Australia and
other countries each year. There are formal
network chapters in Malaysia, Hong Kong,
Singapore, China and the United Kingdom,
as well as active groups in many other
locations in Australia and overseas that
hold regular events. The UniSA Business
School also maintains an active community
and program of events.
University of South Australia alumni are also
able to obtain a network card they can use
to access specially negotiated discounts
to services through the Alumni Business
Directory, such as events at the Adelaide
Festival.
More information on the alumni network
and access to its wide range of services and
resources is available at
www.unisa.edu.au/alumni
In Honour of
Graduation
Embed yourself in the DNA
of the Pridham Hall
By building Pridham Hall we are creating
a new heart of the University - an iconic
venue where thousands of memories will
be made.
Pridham Hall will house graduation
ceremonies as well as provide a venue for
sports meets and alumni and corporate
functions.
A 25-metre, five-lane, heated swimming
pool will be situated one level below the
main hall and will be built alongside a fullyequipped gym and an exercise room for
yoga and dance classes.
You can leave your mark on UniSA. We are
inviting you to make a donation of $1,000
to embed yourself in the DNA of Pridham
Hall in one of the permanent sculptural
features of the facility.
Under the guidance of the design teams
we have selected three spaces and
sculptural forms where we can etch your
name and your three words to live by –
the Chandelier, the Inverted Pyramid and
the Swimming Pool. Your name and three
words will become a permanent fixture
that will forever inform and inspire future
generations of students.
You can join hundreds of other graduates
who have already made the commitment.
To read some of their stories or to
participate in this unique initiative, please
visit www.unisa.edu.au/pridhamhall
Support UniSA’s Scholarship Fund
UniSA’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
