Gown Hire and Photography

Gown Hire and Photography

Ede and Ravenscroft are the official gown hire and photography company for the Graduation Ceremonies for the University of Sunderland. The University of Sunderland has supported our Academic Dress supplier and has helped subsidize the gown hire price for our students.

Gown hire

To participate in the Graduation Ceremonies, graduates are expected to wear University of Sunderland academic dress and may not be allowed to cross the stage if they do not wear academic dress. Under the academic dress graduates should wear formal dress (jeans and trainers are not acceptable).

You should hire your gown online (the web address will be emailed to you once you have made your graduation ticket booking), before you start, make sure you know your head circumference, chest and height measurements and have your credit/debit card details available. You will also require your student number (this is not your bh or bg number)

We advise you to book photography prior to your graduation day. When you order your academic dress you will be offered photography options as part of your order. Ede and Ravenscroft photographers can take an individual portraits, as well as photographs with family and friends.
