1. Traje Académico
In most Portuguese universities and higher
education institutions, usage of academic dress for
undergraduates, or “traje académico” is still
widespread and has even gained popularity in
recent decades.
Usage is generally restricted to the first weeks of
the semester, during the introductory and reception
activities which make part of the Praxe tradition. It
is also used in May during “Queima da Fitas”
where students celebrate the end of graduation
courses, symbolized by the ritual burning of the ribbons
representing each faculty of the University.
