“Honoris Causa”
(Honorary Doctorate)
An ‘Honorary Doctorate Degree’ is an academic degree for which a University or any Institution has waived all of the usual requirements like matriculation, attendance, course credits, a dissertation and the passing of comprehensive examinations. It is also known by the Latin phrases ‘honoris causa (for the sake of the honour)’ or ‘ad honorem (to the honour).’
The degree is typically a doctorate or less commonly, a master’s degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution or no previous postsecondary education. It’s awarded to distinguished individuals who have achieved pre-eminence in their profession, or who have contributed significantly to the development of their country / society. They are often given to those who have either made contributions to a certain field, or more commonly as a “thank you” to those who have made large donations to the institution. The conferment of honorary doctorates brings with it goodwill and contribute towards building up a network of research and other academic collaborations. Our honorary award holders are a source of inspiration to our graduates and provide positive role models for their future.Honorary doctorates are conferred honoris causa, “for the sake of honour”.
