The Hat
(for doctoral graduates in the Faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine and Pharmacy).
Doctoral graduates in the Faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine and Pharmacy must have a doctoral hat; this is required by the ceremonial.
Doctors in the philosophical faculties also have a right to wear a hat, but have no use for a hat in connection with the doctoral degree conferment ceremonies. Tradition decrees that they only wear a laurel wreath in this connection.
The hat, which is paid for by the doctor personally, can be ordered from Bergmans konfektion AB. You will need to place your order at Bergmans no later than 15 december. Ask the firm to ensure that the hat is delivered to the University Main Building on Thursday 29 January.
If you acquire a hat by some other means, you should personally ensure that the hat is delivered to the University Main Building during the wreath-binding and rehearsal on Thursday 29 January.
If you feel hesitant about buying a hat of your own, borrowing a hat is a good alternative.
Please note that the hat must be from the right faculty and hat the Conferment Ceremony Office cannot assist in obtaining hats.
