¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

Awarded to just a few people each year, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's honorary degrees are reserved for those with a record of outstanding achievement in scholarship or in public life and to contributions of unusual importance.

Nominations for an honorary degree can be made only by members of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council or ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Academic Board, or members of the Honorary Degrees and Fellowships Committee.

Sir Stephen Wall, Chair of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council, said: "An Honorary Degree is the highest award the University can bestow. We give Honorary Degrees to a small number of the most distinguished women and men, none more so than Malcolm".

The doctorate will be conferred during ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's 2013 graduation ceremonies, at a Faculty of Laws ceremony.
