    FromCelebration toCelebration Dress Code for Academic Events This guide introduces the dress code for academic events and festivities at Lappeenranta University of Technology. These festivities include the public defence of a dissertation, the post-doctoral karonkka banquet, and the conferment. Lappeenranta University of Technology was established in 1969 and, compared to many other universities, does not have long-standing traditions in academic festivities and especially doctoral conferment ceremonies. The following dress code should be observed at academic events at Lappeenranta University of Technology to establish in-house traditions. The instructions may, in some respects, differ from those of other universities. For instance with regard to colours worn by women, these instructions do not follow strict academic etiquette. 2 Contents Public Defence of a Dissertation 4 Conferment Ceremony 5 Dark Suit 6 Dark Suit, Accessories 8 Womens Semi-Formal Daytime Attire 10 White Tie 12 White Tie, Accessories 14 Womens Dark Suit, Doctoral Candidate 16 Womens Formal Daytime Attire, Doctor 18 Formal Evening Gown 20 Men's Informal Suit 22 Womens Informal Suit 24 Decorations 26 Doctoral Hat 28 Marshals 30 3 Public Defence of a Dissertation, Karonkka Banquet PUBLIC DEFENCE KARONKKA DOCTORAL CANDIDATE, White tie and tails, black vest White tie and tails, white vest if MALE (dark suit). ladies present (dark suit).

  • Access to Higher Education for People from Less Advantaged Backgrounds in Scotland
    ACCESS IN SCOTLAND Access to higher education for people from less advantaged backgrounds in Scotland Lucy Hunter Blackburn, Gitit Kadar-Satat, Sheila Riddell and Elisabet Weedon May 2016 FOREWORD Access to universities across the UK remains a challenge despite improvements in recent years. Those challenges are still more marked in Scotland than in the other nations, as this important new report from Edinburgh University shows. This report lays bare the extent of the challenge. Scotland has a different approach to higher education. It no longer charges tuition fees, and as a result it retains a cap on student places that has been removed in England. But not only is the access gap still wider in Scotland, what progress there has been has largely been through sub-degree places in colleges. This is not to decry the contribution made by colleges: articulation, in particular, has an important role to play in improving university participation and vocational degree courses can complement higher apprenticeships as a route to employment. But any access policy which underplays the importance of access to the Ancients is an access policy that does little to change access to Scotland’s top professions. The Sutton Trust supports students at some of these great universities from low and middle income backgrounds – and programmes like our summer schools are important - and the universities themselves are making commendable efforts to boost access from across Scotland. The report notes that the policy of reserving places at the Ancients for disadvantaged students has improved their numbers at those universities, so it is vital that this policy continues.
