Nominations for Honorary Degrees

Members of staff are invited to consider nominating individuals for the award of honorary degrees of the University.

Further details with regard to current policy and associated guidelines can be found at http://www.brad.ac.uk/admin/student-registry/awards/Honorary_Degrees.htm

Proposals, to include biographical details and a full supporting statement, should be sent under confidential cover to Nick Buck, Student Registry by Friday 27 August 2004 for consideration by the Honorary Degrees Committee at its 9 September meeting.

Nominations received after this date can be considered at meetings of the Committee to be held later in the session. If you are interested in putting a name forward and would find it helpful to discuss the case further before doing so please contact Nick Buck on 3038 or email at n.j.buck@bradford.ac.uk.

As you will no doubt appreciate it is most important that any persons nominated for an honorary degree should not be made aware that there was any possibility of such an award being conferred upon them.
