All candidates at the doctoral level receive the Doctor of Philosophy degree, which is conferred in the area of specialty.

Doctoral hoods are of the full Oxford design, and are gold, lined in monastral blue with two gold chevrons.

The hood for the Honourary Degree (honoris causa) is of the same pattern as that of the Doctor of Philosophy, but is of monastral blue velvet with gold soutache braid trim, matching the blue and gold Honorary Gown.  Honorary degrees are awarded not only for the outstanding intellectual accomplishments, but also for the major contributions to the arts, culture and society at large.
