the Oxford style for the Gown s and Hoods for the Bachelor s and Masters Degrees . For its Doctorate s, Melbourne follows the style of Cambridge . The hoods are all black (of size and shape those of the Oxford MA ; i.e. Burgon simple-shape) lined with the colour specified for the relevant Faculty or degree, and bound with white (on the lower edge) for bachelors, and no binding for masters. The faculty or degree colours are specified in the University Regulations. Formerly, Pass degrees were bound in Fur and Honours in Silk — however the distinction no longer exists. Bachelors wear an Oxford Bachelors gown, and Masters an Oxford Masters gown. The Undergraduate gown is the same as the bachelors, but the sleeves must not be split. Masters may wear the Mortar Board , however undergraduate students and Bachelors are not permitted to wear the Mortar Board , following the Oxford style. This rule is strictly applied and extends to graduation photography as well as the ceremony itself {Link without Title} . The academic dress for a PhD consists of an Oxford masters gown, faced in scarlet, with a black hood lined in scarlet, and a bonnet with a scarlet cord. Higher Doctorates are scarlet, lined and faced in the colour of the faculty/degree, with a larger scarlet hood lined in the colour of the faculty/degree, and a bonnet with a gold cord.
