Honorary Degrees

An honorary degree is one of higher education's most significant accolades. Each year, following very careful consideration, the University bestows a number of honorary degrees on distinguished individuals who merit special recognition for outstanding achievement and distinction in a field or activity consonant with the mission of the University. The people concerned receive their degrees at one of the two degree congregations held in February and July of each year in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building. During the ceremony an oration is delivered in commendation of each Honorary Graduand.
A list of Honorary Degrees awarded since 1995 is available.

Details of Honorary degrees awarded since July 2006 will available shortly. If you require details in the interim, please contact chris.harries@bristol.ac.uk.
