Essential Information
November/December 2015

* Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that information in this booklet is accurate
and up-to-date, some information is subject to change.
The University congratulates all graduands on
successful completion of their studies. It also
wishes every success to students awaiting the
publication of their final classification.
In order to graduate, students need to complete
their studies and their final classifications should
be published by the beginning of November 2015.
We wish to make your Graduation and Awards
Ceremony a memorable occasion.
Dear Graduand,
Congratulations! You have finally arrived at your destination, having travelled on
an arduous journey that took years to complete. Almost certainly, this experience
which reaches its climax on Graduation Day, will serve to change your future for
the better. We understand that you are in a celebratory mood and we are happy
for you and your family who must also feel that this is their day too.
I am also writing to you today to urge you to be mindful of the importance of
expressing your happiness and sense of celebration in an orderly and prudent
manner, as I know most of you are. Unfortunately, in the recent past, these
joyous occasions were often marred by behaviour that was unbecoming and
brought harm to the students themselves and to others.
Please do not let this unique occasion be spoilt by such actions. Recognise that
alcohol, merriment and “carcading” do not go well, or even safely, together.
Please do not celebrate noisily on campus and avoid visiting faculties, especially
those that are not your own. Other students and staff need to continue with
their work during this longish period of ceremonies and evening pageantry.
In conclusion, my message to you is this: enjoy this crowning moment, let
the joy and satisfaction be felt also by family and friends and make this a truly
memorable experience for the right reasons.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor Juanito Camilleri
Rector

Academic dress
information
This year the new and unique University of Malta Master gowns, hoods and
trenchers will be launched. These will be provided to all Master graduands on
the day of their graduation at the Valletta Campus. Graduands will wear their
gowns, hoods and trenchers during the graduation ceremony and afterwards for
any photos taken at the Valletta Campus. All gowns, hoods and trenchers must be
returned to the Valletta Campus before the graduates leave the University building.
As a celebratory gesture, these Master gowns, hoods and trenchers will be provided
free of charge. Please note that this is a totally new design of both gowns and
hoods/colours and therefore no other gown, hoods/colours or trenchers can be
worn by any of this year’s University of Malta Master graduands.
All Master graduands are requested to provide us with the information below
by the date given on the correspondence sent to you so that a gown of the correct
length can be prepared on the day of the graduation.
Please provide the following information on gowns@um.edu.mt:
1. Name; 2. I.D card number; 3. Height (cms); and 4. Name of course (e.g. Master
of Arts in History of Art).
If Master graduates wish to take photos wearing these gowns, other than those
which may be taken at the Valletta Campus on the day of graduation, they may
do so but only after all the postgraduate ceremonies are over (from Thursday, 17
December onwards). To do so, please advise us on gowns@um.edu.mt and we
shall make the necessary arrangements. A deposit of €50 will be required which
will be returned to the Master graduate when the gown, hood/colour and trencher
are returned without damage to the University.
Gowns and caps/trenches may be hired from any supplier
