Information about our university's Honorary Awards Committee, including Terms of Reference, membership, meetings and minutes

Academic Board, on behalf of the University, may confer honorary awards on individuals or organisations. Academic Board delegates authority to the Honorary Awards Committee to seek nominations, select candidates against the criteria in the Honorary Awards Nomination Policy and make invitations to candidates for the conferment of awards.

Students, staff, governors or alumni who would like to nominate an individual or organisation for an honorary award, can download and complete the nomination form and submit this to the committee secretary. The following points should be noted when completing a nomination form:

The nominator must provide evidence of how the nominee’s work or achievements reflect the University’s ethos and / or have made a positive impact on the city and / or region
The Committee will normally only consider nominations made by students, members of staff, governors and alumni of the University.
Nominations should be endorsed by a Dean of School / Professional Service before submission to the Secretary.
Nominations must be made on the appropriate form and will not be considered on the basis of a CV alone.
Self-nominations will not be considered by the Committee.
To avoid any perception of bias, honorary awards will not normally be conferred upon serving ministers, shadow ministers, elected politicians or holders of a public office which could give rise to a conflict of interest.
Nominations for members of staff or anyone working in a professional capacity for the University will not be considered.
Nominations must be made in confidence and should not be discussed with the nominee. All communication with the nominee will be handled through the secretariat.

The Chair of the Honorary Awards Committee is the Vice Chancellor, Professor Peter Slee
