Gading Grad provides custom-made International PhD Regalia for lecturers, doctors, academics, and PhD holders who graduated from universities outside Malaysia and require a professional robe for convocation, academic events, official photography, teaching ceremonies, or institutional functions.
Since 2018, we have assisted many lecturers and PhD graduates in preparing their international PhD regalia based on their university robe design, colour identity, hood style, bonnet, gown structure, and academic tradition.
