The Tradition of the Red Hat and Cane
The tradition of the graduation hat and cane dates back to Coimbra in 1932, when the final year Medical students known as the “Curso dos Cocos” introduced the custom of wearing top hats, canes and formal clothing during their celebrations. The outfit was a humorous imitation of the wealthy and respected professionals they expected to become, symbolizing their transition from university life into their professional careers.
The tradition soon spread to other Portuguese universities and was adopted by students in Porto during the second half of the 1940s. The hat and cane became associated with graduating students and were made in the academic color of each faculty. At FEP, this tradition is represented in red, making the hat and cane a distinctive symbol of the graduating class and its transition into professional life.

Questions & Answers
Hey, I'm Luz 👋
I am a 20-year-old Economics undergraduate originally from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, currently pursuing my degree at the School of Economics of the University of Porto, Portugal.
I began my economics undergraduate studies in Brazil at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), where I served as President of the Economics Students Association (DACEF) for a one-year term, leading initiatives in institutional representation and student engagement. I also served on the Council of the Institute of Economics and International Relations (IERI) and the Academic Board of the Economics program, contributing to academic policy and governance.
My academic background includes training experiences in UFU’s Financial Market League and ACPE, UFU’s Junior Enterprise in Economics. I was also actively involved in the Academic Athletics Association Monetária, which connects students through sports, events, parties, and other activities.
I am currently in the second year of my three-year Economics degree at FEP. During my time at FEP, I was a member of the Scientific Research and Consulting Department of the FEP Economics Society, contributing to its newsletter through articles on economic theory, applied economics, economic history, and current topics. I also collaborated on the review of scientific articles and academic references, supporting undergraduate and master’s students with research design, methodology, academic writing, and sources.
My professional interests include market research, business analysis, valuation, financial metrics, and financial modeling, with a particular interest in understanding business performance, value creation, and strategic decision-making. I am seeking internship and graduate opportunities where I can develop these skills in real-world business and financial contexts.
Outside my academic and professional life, I am a member of the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative focused on positive social impact and developing young leaders for a sustainable future. I’m also a student member of the Portuguese Order of Economists.
