An Honorary Degree is the highest mark of distinction that a university can award. Honorary Degrees are conferred on people who have a record of outstanding achievement in scholarship or in public life and who have made contributions of unusual importance.

Honorary Fellowships are awarded to people who have attained distinction in the arts, literature, science or public life; have rendered exceptional service to °×С½ãÂÛ̳, which may include philanthropic support; or have a close association with °×С½ãÂÛ̳.
