Our Honorary Graduates

Making a Nomination

An honorary degree is the highest honour that the 澳门六合彩开奖平台 bestows. Each year the University recognises individuals who have made significant achievements in their fields or profession at national or international level. Honorary Degrees are the University's way of recognising exceptional people and the things they've done to make a difference in the world. Every year, we award a small number of people with a 澳门六合彩开奖平台 Honorary Degree at our graduation ceremonies. 

We welcome all honorary degree nominations made by anyone within or outside the University. Please submit your nominations via the button below.

Guidance on Making a Nomination

Please find below further guidance on how to make a nomination for an honorary degree, including the purpose, criteria, and process.

What is the purpose of an honorary award?

The University makes honorary awards to persons of eminence, excellence, and leadership to celebrate their personal and professional standing, and to engage them in its long-term development as an institution of quality and distinction.

The University sees its honorary graduates as key ambassadors for enhancing its reputation in the wider world, and expects recipients to develop a continuing relationship with those faculties and departments in which they have an interest.

The University sees its honorary graduates as enhancing its reputation and as key ambassadors for the University in the wider world, and wishes to honour outstanding achievements, or distinction in a field or activity that aligns to the values and commitments of the University.

The honorary degree awarded by the University is an honorary doctorate.

Who can make a nomination?

Nominations can come from anyone within or outside the University.

Individuals cannot nominate themselves for an Honorary Award.
