Dress code for Graduation Ceremony

All information relating to academic dress and links to gown hire companies can be found on the Graduands' Dress page.

The majority of MA Graduands will wear the BA gown and BA hood. If you already have a degree from the University higher than the BA (i.e. MPhil), you will wear the corresponding gown and hood. Undergraduate gowns must NOT be worn. If you are in any doubt about which gown and hood you need to wear for the ceremony, it is recommended that you seek advice from one of the gown hire companies listed on the Graduands' Dress page.

Dress code for Dinner

Lounge suit or equivalent. Gowns are not worn for dinner.

Guests

We regret that due to the space constraints of Hall, guests are not permitted at the MA Reunion Dinner in the evening.

Graduands may bring guests to the ceremony at Senate House. There is a maximum of two guests permitted per graduand. Additional tickets will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. If you require additional tickets for the graduation ceremony, please contact congregations@magd.cam.ac.uk

We are pleased to be able to offer a limited number of rooms in College for Members wishing to stay overnight. Accommodation can be booked for one night (Saturday 5 April) or two nights (Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April) and is £60 per night. Please select the relevant option on the booking form to reserve accommodation. Rooms will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis and are available for alumni only.
