Over the years, The University has been pleased to confer honorary degrees to a wide range of distinguished individuals from all walks of life, who have made major contributions in their particular field. This includes people from academic life, politics, law and society in general, both within the UK and internationally. We are particularly delighted that some of our honorary degrees have been conferred upon our former students.
On this page you will find details of our 2026 honorary graduates, and details of honorary graduates going back to the early years of The University.
