Hoodspotting

The act of viewing acacdemical dress and recording and identifying their degree and university of origin. Like trainspotting but with academic hoods, gowns and caps.

A person who engages in hoodspotting is called a 'hoodspotter'.

I'm going to Oxford (University) to do a bit of hoodspotting.
