An honorary degree is one of Higher Education’s most significant accolades. The University grants honorary degrees to individuals of superior merit. Awarding honorary degrees supports the process of extending our network of prestigious contacts and supporters. The committee particularly welcomes proposals that reflect the cultural diversity and international character of the University and promote its commitments to gender equality.

The Honorary Degrees Committee is a joint committee of Senate and Council and is chaired by the Vice-Chancellor. Senate will also approve the awards.
