Honorary doctorates

Besides “regular” doctorates, TU Delft also awards honorary doctorates. The recipients of honorary doctorates do not have to write a dissertation. They receive the title of doctor based on the merits of their work. An honorary doctorate is a distinction. It is also a true academic degree and title. It comes with the same rights as a regular doctorate, and it is accompanied by a diploma. Honorary doctorates may be awarded to TU Delft scientists and individuals from other institutions and organisations. Well-known ‘doctores honoris causa’ include Cornelis Lely (1907) en Donald Norman (2006). Read more
