Doctoral hats
The regalia of a Doctor of Technology consist of the doctoral hat and the special velvet ribbon attached to the collar of the tailcoat, and a lady doctor’s brooch. The emblem on a Doctor's of Science in Technology hat is a lyre enclosing the golden flame of “labor et scientia” inside an iron ring, surrounded by a gold laurel wreath. The special characteristic of the Doctor's of Science in Technology hat is the curled brim.
The regalia of a Doctor of Philosophy is the hat. Doctors of Philosophy at Helsinki University of Technology have the same hat as Doctors of Philosophy at Helsinki University. The emblem is that of Helsinki University.
We recommend that you order the hat as soon as possible, since several conferment ceremonies are being held in the spring 2008 and the companies making the hats will probably be very busy. When ordering the hat, please be sure to mention that it is for Helsinki University of Technology. It is also possible to borrow a hat for the ceremony. In this case, the hat should be that of a doctor at Helsinki University of Technology, it should look new and be the right size.
The specially embroidered ribbon for a Doctor of Science in Technology is made of velvet and on each end the same symbol as that on the hat emblem is embroidered in black silk. The ribbon is permanently attached to the tailcoat, so a hired or borrowed coat cannot be used.
The lady doctor’s regalia include an oval brooch, 6 cm wide and 8 cm high, made of black velvet. On the face of the brooch the same symbol as that on the hat emblem is embroidered in black silk. The brooch is attached to one’s dress on the left below the collarbone (not too low). If the lady doctor is wearing other medals, the brooch should be worn on the left in the place of the grand star, below other official decorations. The brooch is worn at academic events.
It is possible to use only the hat at the conferment ceremony; the ribbon or the brooch are not necessary.
