Doctoral regalia includes the doctoral hat that varies according to the university and degree. Doctors of technology and philosophy wear a black hat with a curled brim. The hats of doctors who graduated from Tampere University of Technology feature TUT’s own emblem.
The conferees bring their doctoral hats with them to the preliminary celebration at Tampere Hall on Thursday, 17 May. Hat boxes can be left in the Studio room (main lobby, 1st floor). Both the hat box and the inside of the doctoral hat must be clearly labelled with the conferee’s full name, not just initials.
Those conferees who cannot attend the preliminary celebration must deliver their hats to Tampere Hall by 16:30 on Thursday, 17 May. Please bring the hat to the staff of Tampere Hall (D door, on the side of the street named Kalevan puistotie).
It is possible to borrow a doctor’s hat for the conferment ceremony. In such cases the hat must be one that is in use at TUT (a hat for doctors of technology or philosophy with TUT’s emblem). The hat must be in good condition and of a fitting size.
The promovendi acquire the hat themselves. When placing your order, please specify that the conferment ceremony will be arranged by Tampere University of Technology. It takes time to make a doctoral hat, so placing your order well in advance is advisable.
There are several suppliers of doctoral hats and the method of manufacturing the hat varies. The hats are traditionally made by hand in Finland or ordered from abroad. This naturally has an effect on the price.
