Honorary Doctorates

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. These honorary doctors, confered by the Faculty of Languages, were suggested byt the Department of Modern Languages.
