Honorary Graduates and Fellows

University of Suffolk students graduate in formal ceremonies held across Suffolk and Great Yarmouth each Autumn. As part of the formality of graduation, we also welcome a number of notable individuals to the ceremonies and present them with Honorary Awards.

Our Honorary Graduates are strong ambassadors of the University and support us in many ways.  If you are interested in supporting the University please visit our supporters page, contact giving@uos.ac.uk or make a gift today.

Each year the University honours selected individuals in recognition of their outstanding achievement or distinction in the following:

• Their contribution to the educational or cultural well-being of society or to business, industry or enterprise;
• For academic distinction or services to academic disciplines of particular interest to the University;
• For public or community service that exceeds professional or job requirements;
• Achievement in the face of disadvantage;
• For an exceptional contribution to the University;
• In what way would they interact with the University going forward.

The conferment of honorary awards take place at ceremonies during the autumn of each year, and the list of previous recipients are published below.
