THE GRADUATION CEREMONY THE MACE

HONOURS

The Mace is the symbol of formal authority. The Mace used today belongs to the University of Newcastle and was designed by gold and silversmith, Gerald Benney. It is made of Australian walnut and silver and its head represents an open book – the traditional symbol of learning. The Mace was a gift from the University of New South Wales to commemorate the establishment of the University of Newcastle as an autonomous institution on 1 January 1965. It is always borne ahead of the Chancellor in the academic procession during formal ceremonies such as today’s presentation of academic awards.

The award of Honours is given to students who complete an additional year of study after the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Some bachelors degrees, such as engineering or education, have Honours embedded in the four year degree program. Honours generally consists of part coursework and part research requiring submission of a thesis. Honours can be awarded as Class I, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, or Class III.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARES In mid-1994, staff and students of the University’s Faculty of Music were invited to submit entries for a competition to compose the University Fanfare. The composition had to be capable of being performed either on organ or on brass. The winning entry by Professor Robert Constable, was first played publicly at the University’s overseas graduation ceremony held in Singapore in August 1994. The Fanfare is performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council. With respect and collaboration, the University of Newcastle embraces a united approach to equality and inclusiveness for all Australian peoples.

THE UNIVERSITY MEDAL The award of a University Medal is an honour made only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit. To be considered for this award, a graduate must have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of their degree program, and qualify with the highest level of that degree.

WITH DISTINCTION A bachelors or masters degree is conferred with distinction in cases where a candidate has achieved a Grade Point Average of 6.0 or above in the degree, out of a maximum of 7.0.

COMBINED DEGREE A combined degree is one where a student studies for two separate degrees at the same time. It is possible for the student to complete the degree requirements for one degree ahead of the other. The student receives a testamur for each degree. Places for combined degrees are very competitive and offered to the highest performing students who apply.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF GRADUATION The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. Its necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public.

The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a diocese until, under pressure of other business; he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor. As learning spread, teachers wanted a licence to teach not just in one diocese, but everywhere, and the only person who could give them that was the Pope. The Chancellor’s authority, then, came from the Pope. But at the Reformation, Henry VIII assumed for the Crown all the rights which had previously been the Pope’s in England. That is why all subsequent universities in England have been created by Royal Charter. It is for this reason also that the Chancellor does not wear ecclesiastical robes, as would have been worn in the Middle Ages, but robes similar to those of the Lord Chancellor of England.

The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th century they would all have been called “masters” or MAs. At that date they were paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas originally meant. As in all guilds they were insistent that they, and only they, should determine who should be of their number, and since this involved saying who should be teachers, they soon found themselves in conflict with the Chancellor. In the 13th century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that Chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters. That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him.

Thirdly the graduates. The word “degree” comes from the Latin gradus, which means “a step”. When students are admitted to a Bachelor degree they move one step up towards the mastership.

When they are admitted to a master’s degree they climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas. In the Middle Ages they would then have stayed on the dais, so that their old master could invest them with the symbols of office. But that was only part of the business. The new master had to deliver an inaugural lecture, entertain the whole guild of masters to dinner and preside over disputations for forty days continuously. For that reason, taking one’s master’s degree was called “inception”, or the beginning of one’s career as a master.

The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman’s cassock. It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the fine clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining.

By the 17th century, if not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from the colour of a graduate’s hood, the university and the degree.

The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses. The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes.

The foregoing is an adaptation of an Address given at a Graduation Ceremony at the University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his book ‘From Alfred the Great to Stephen’ (Hambledon Press 1991), pp. 307-309. It is reproduced with kind permission of the author’s widow.

GRADUATION – SINGAPORE 2013

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE IN SINGAPORE This is the story of how the University of Newcastle, Australia has successfully brought the very best that it offers to Singapore, and steadily built a reputation for higher education excellence in the region. From humble beginnings, the University now offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and enrols 1,500 students in Singapore. The University’s Singaporean alumni are prestigious and active participants in the life of the University. We are exceptionally delighted to count among our alumni, Colombo Plan Scholars – Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Singapore’s Minister for National Development; Dr Cheong-Chua Koon Hean, CEO of the Housing Development Board; Dr. Tan Chin Nam, Winner of the Australian High Commission Distinguished Alumni Award 2012, and Mr Peter Tay former CEO of Singapore Food Industries Ltd. With Vice-Chancellor Professor Caroline McMillen at its helm, the University of Newcastle’s achievements are remarkable. In 2013, QS ranking placed the University of Newcastle, at 26 in the world’s top 50 universities under the age of 50. The Times Higher Education (THE) ranked the University 40 in the world’s top 100 universities under the age of 50. Most recently in October 2013, THE ranked the University in the top 251-275 group of universities, up from 276-300 in 2012.

Nationally, UON has moved up two places in 2013 to rank 9th in Australia. Taking a closer look at the 2013 QS World University Rankings, 10 disciplines are now ranked in the top 200 universities across the globe and each is an improvement on previously recorded rankings. Our Mechanical and Electrical Engineering disciplines are in the world’s best 150. These outstanding results highlight our consistent delivery of high-impact research and world-class education outcomes.

We just keep getting better.

The University exhibits an international reputation for research excellence. In 2012, Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) ranked us equal 7th for our research that is “well above world standard”, with the maximum score of five in 22 broad categories. The Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 2012 assessment is conducted by the Australian Government to measure the research performance of Australia’s higher education institutions.

Singapore is a dynamic location for transnational education because of the political stability, economic achievement and the focus on productivity and innovation, which provides a professional and progressive environment for students. The University’s growing success in Singapore has been matched by its long-term commitment and local investment. In 2006, the University established a wholly-owned entity; UON Singapore Pte Ltd. It employs a Pro Vice-Chancellor (Singapore), full-time academic staff and professional staff.

I am very positive for the future of Australian higher education in Singapore and look forward to continuing to bring the very best the University has to offer to Singapore. Congratulations on completing your university studies with us, now is the time to bring your academic knowledge and create value to your respective industries. I wish you only the best for your success and any future endeavours.
