Contrary to what one might think, the graduation ceremony is not a tradition of Anglo-Saxon origin, but French: it was started at the beginning of the Renaissance by students of the University of Paris. Gowns and caps for scholars go back to the 12th and 13th centuries. They were used by students and professors of the first European universities to keep warm in unheated buildings. Having disappeared in May 1968, this tradition is now being brought back in many prestigious schools and universities, combining tradition and modernity to celebrate obtaining a diploma, behind which is hidden:

– The culmination of several years of effort, the transition into the professional world, and thus immense pride for the student and his or her family,

– The image and prestige of an educational institution.

Tradition states that when the graduate receives their diploma, they move their tassel from right to left, a sign of passage from student to professional life; then, as a final celebration, the graduates toss their caps.

It is also wise to note that the colour of the robe depends on the field of activity or the function of the wearer. This colour code applies essentially to universities as well as rectors of academies, presidents of universities, lecturers, professors of universities, etc.
