Why do people wear a sword and hat?
The sword and hat symbolise the freedom of research and the fight for what is good, right and true. As my PhD graduation day neared in 2012, I was given the opportunity to travel to Toronto and I ended up missing the university ceremony, eventually receiving the doctoral degree certificate in the post a few weeks later.
Where do PhDs wear their sword and hat?
When they are worn in official ceremonies in the future, they are traditionally placed on the left side. In the Ukraine and Poland, PhDs carry a Bulawa which is a baton or mace. In addition to Finland’s PhD Sword and Hat customs, Finnish university PhD defences (i.e. the viva) are steeped in tradition when it comes to the academic dress code.
Why do they give you a sword in Finland?
In Finland, all new PhD holders are given a traditional PhD Sword and PhD Hat during a Conferment Ceremony. The sword and hat symbolise the freedom of research and the fight for what is good, right and true.
When do you sharpen the sword for a PhD?
On the evening before conferment day, a traditional sword-whetting’ ceremony occurs. At this, new PhD holders bring the sword that they’ll officially be presented with the next day and they sharpen this sword on a hand-turned grindstone that’s turned by the other people at the ceremony.
