Scope and content
Each year, the University of Strathclyde awards a small number of honorary degrees to people who have made an outstanding contribution to academia and learning, to the university, to society (nationally and/or internationally) or to enterprise or business in their particular field. Honorary degrees are now conferred at the university's regular summer and autumn degree congregations, but were formerly awarded at the annual Commemoration Day ceremony, or at congregations arranged for occasions such as the opening of new buildings on campus.
The registers record each honorary graduate's name, signature, the title of degree conferred, and the date.
