The Steinke hood was designed for the same purpose as the SEIE, but did not include thermal insulation or a life raft. It could not protect submariners from hypothermia and weather exposure, or provide crew visibility at the surface, as the SEIE can. [5] This distinctive dress code is a deeply rooted aspect of Oxford’s history and heritage, symbolizing the academic unity and tradition of the institution. While there are specific guidelines to follow, Oxford’s policy allows for personal expression within these rules, accommodating all students irrespective of gender.

This can vary slightly – for example, if you are doing classics you will have ‘mods’ during your second year when you will wear your sub fusc. You will also wear it for finals. Sub fusc is not required for collections.

For these events you will have to wear a commoners’ gown even if you are a scholar! Having said that, you will be allowed to remove your gown or tie for the actual exam, but you must wear full sub fusc to and from the exam or you will not be allowed to sit it! Sub fusc, a term derived from the Latin ‘sub fuscus’ meaning ‘dark’ or ‘dusky,’ refers to the traditional academic attire required at Oxford University for a range of formal occasions.

Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment ( SEIE), also known as Submarine Escape and Immersion Equipment, is a whole-body suit and one-man life raft that was first produced in 1952. It was designed by British company RFD Beaufort Limited and allows submariners to escape from a sunken submarine. [1] The suit also provides protection against hypothermia and (since the Mk 10 version) has replaced the Steinke hood rescue device. The suit allows survivors to escape a disabled submarine at depths down to 600 feet (183m), with an ascent speed of 2–3 meters/second, at a rate of eight or more sailors per hour. [2] [3]The SEIE is designed to be a last resort in the event of a submarine emergency at sea. Rescue with a submarine rescue vehicle, which connects directly to a submarine's escape hatch, is still the preferred option, as it allows crew members to avoid direct exposure to cold water and high pressure at depth. If a rescue vehicle is not available or cannot connect to a sunken submarine, the crew can escape using the SEIE. [3] In an Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine review of training, O'Donnell and Horn report that "During the first 39 months of training, 7,025 students screened for PSET with 32% completing all phases, including two pressurized ascents. The most common reason for screening disqualification was presence of upper respiratory congestion. During training, middle ear barotrauma was responsible for 53% of attrition, primarily during the test of pressure." [4] Understanding what sub fusc is and its significance will be an integral part of your Oxford journey, ensuring you are appropriately dressed for some of the most memorable and important moments of your university life. What should I wear? There are exceptions to the rules of which gown should be worn; for example, if you are an organ scholar or get a distinction in Preliminaries at the end of your first year, then you would be entitled to wear a scholars’ gown. This is a more traditional gown – it has sleeves and is knee length.
