Honorary Doctorate
What is an Honorary Doctorate?
An Honorary Doctorate is a prestigious academic honour awarded by a university or college to individuals who have made significant contributions to a particular field, society, or humanity at large. An honorary doctorate does not require the recipient to complete a specific course of study or academic work. It recognizes exceptional achievements, influence, or service.
Honorary Doctorates do not require the recipients to complete the necessary academic requirements of a traditional doctoral degree. Recipients are often addressed as ‘Doctors’ but this is primarily ceremonial.
An honorary doctorate is one of the highest forms of recognition an institution can bestow, symbolizing excellence, leadership, and the power of contributions that transcend traditional academic boundaries.
