Graduation Gown Discount

A discount to the cost of gown hire for your graduation ceremony.

Up to 425 discounts a year are available to help with the cost of gown hire. Gown hire costs range from £45 to £58.

This discount is funded by the generosity of our graduation gown supplier, Ede & Ravenscroft.

The discount is for prospective graduands. By ‘graduand', we mean a person about to receive an applicable academic degree or award at a graduation ceremony.

We cannot guarantee all eligible graduands a discount. This is due to the limited number of discounts available. One in four eligible students received a discount for the last four congregations.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a discount, you must:

• be graduating with an undergraduate or postgraduate award
• have been invited to a graduation ceremony in Bristol (students invited to the China Celebration are not eligible)
• have received your invitation email on or before 11 June 2026
• have no outstanding debt to the University
• have received payment from an eligible scheme
