Honorary Doctorate
An Honorary Doctorate is a prestigious award given by a university to recognize an individual's exceptional contributions to a specific field or society. Unlike traditional doctorates, recipients do not need to complete academic requirements; instead, they are honored for their achievements, influence, or philanthropic efforts. This award can be conferred in various disciplines, such as science, arts, or humanities.
Universities often present honorary doctorates during graduation ceremonies to celebrate the recipient's impact and inspire graduates. Notable figures, including politicians, artists, and scientists, may receive this honor, highlighting their significant roles in advancing knowledge or social change.
