Honorary doctors

Every year, the School of Business, Economics and Law appoints one or more honorary doctors - Honorary Doctors of Business/Economics (Hon. D.B.) and Honorary Doctors of Laws (Hon. LL.D) - in order to honor external academics or others, who in their work have made significant contributions to the research, education or other work conducted at the School of Business, Economics and Law.

The persons appointed as honorary doctors (Doctores Honoris Causa) must be connected to the School of Business, Economics and Law or in some respect have contributed to the School's activities.
