For the attention of the BGU community:

Each year, the University has the opportunity to award Honorary Doctorates and Honorary Fellowships at its graduation ceremonies. Honorary Fellowships are awarded in recognition of outstanding contributions to the University; whilst Honorary Doctorates are awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to academic, local, regional, national or international life.

Current Bishop Grosseteste University staff and students, retired staff and alumni and current or former University Council members are invited to nominate candidates for honorary awards. Nomination Forms and the associated guidance can be found here.
