Academic titles
Please state your academic title correctly, or we will have to change it manually. Undergraduate: 4 year program (240 p) or less. Graduate: more than 4 years, for example civil engineers, law students or if you are taking your masters. Postgraduate: doctoral candidates. All medical students, i.e. those studying to be doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, odontologists, BMA etc. are titled Medical student. This does not include students of complementary medicine (naprapathy, chiropractic, homeopathy) because they do not have the right to an academic title at the moment.
If your companion already has a degree, you state this according to the international standard e.g. BSc, BA, MSc, PhD, MD.
If you have stated your title correctly it will look like this:
Undergraduate Mr Karl Karlsson
Dr Fredrika Fredriksson, MD
Mr Per Persson, MSc
Postgraduate Mr Lars Larsson
Tickets
The tickets you will be able to buy if you win the lottery are only for the Nobel banquet and not for the Nobel Prize ceremony. The tickets will be sent to the address posted at registration if you are one of the winners.
About Nobel NightCap.
All participants of the Nobel Banquet are entitled to attend Nobel NightCap. This is the after party which begins directly after the banquet. This is a very well planned and lavish party which takes up to 6 months to prepare. We think that everyone should attend NightCap and not miss this fantastic end to the Nobel day!
Formal attire
Women: Evening dress. Do not forget to wear comfortable shoes since you will be dancing all night.
Men: Tail coat with all accessories (white tie and white vest) and patent-leather shoes (or well polished black leather shoes). Uniform is not allowed.
Both: The winners of the Nobel lottery are required to wear a student cap (clean and white). Students of technology are permitted to wear a “schmeque” (a student cap for technology students) but without spegats and pins. Academic orders are not accepted at the Nobel party, but you are allowed to wear the ribbon belonging to your student union. Consider the fact that you are attending the party as a student and representing the students of Sweden.
