      Academic robes

      All graduates are required to wear academic robes during the ceremony. It is important to place your order 21 days before the ceremony. Staff will be on duty to assist graduates with robeing. It is a matter of personal choice what you wear to the ceremony however you may find it useful to know that the sleeves of the gown end at the elbow.  The hood should lay at the edge of your shoulder and not be wrapped around your arms like a shawl.

      Gowns are ordered through https://www2.edeandravenscroft.com/graduation/

      Ede and Ravenscroft are our official gown hire company and robes should not be ordered through other companies as these will not be official Middlesex gowns.  Ede and Ravenscroft only hire full outfits of gown, hood and mortar board.
