Honorary Degree Nominations

The University is seeking nominations for inspirational individuals to receive honorary degrees in 2024.

Nominations will be considered by the Joint Committee on Honorary Degrees with a view to making recommendations to the Senate and the Council.  

Those considered for honorary degrees might include: distinguished academics who are pre-eminent in their field; individuals who have achieved national or international eminence in public life or a particular activity (for example in industry, commerce and business, the arts in all its forms, media, or sport); and individuals who have given a particular service to the University or made outstanding contributions to the city or region. It is always helpful to the success of a nomination if the individual concerned has a connection with the University or the region or if a nomination is associated with a particular event such as a conference or anniversary. The University would not normally confer honorary degrees on serving UK politicians or current members of staff.

Nominations should be submitted in strict confidence and should not be divulged to the person nominated.

The deadline for the receipt of nominations is Thursday 5 October 2023 at 5pm.
