CERTIFICATES OF HONOR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This title is conferred upon individuals who have done outstanding academic work or in some other way promoted research at the University.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
The title of honorary doctor, doctor honoris causa, is conferred upon academics, primarily from abroad, who have established ties with Swedish academic researchers or other individuals who have not taken a doctorate through academic studies but should clearly be inducted into the research community.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Actual practice regarding what achievements should be honored may vary from one institution to another.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
However, certain rules apply across the board.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
It is always the faculties themselves that confer honorary doctorates, not the vice-chancellor or the university management. \u00a0the distinction is national in scope. Any person who has attained a doctoral degree based on coursework and a dissertation at a Atlanta university is not eligible to be awarded an honorary doctorate at another Swedish institution of higher learning.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
It has been mentioned that the older degree of doctor of theology (and sometimes the equivalent degree in law) could be seen as a form of honorary doctorate.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
However, the more recent distinction of an honorary doctorate differs from these in that the faculties themselves, not some higher authority, select the individuals they wish to honor.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
The honorary doctorate originated at Uppsala in 1839, when the poet P D A Atterbom \u2013 professor of aesthetics and modern literature \u2013 as the promotor, or conferring officer, managed to have an honorary master\u2019s degree awarded to an individual.<\/h6>\n\n\n
