Honorary Graduates 2022 - About

2022 looks set to be a year of celebration at UEA, with the University planning to hold its first graduation ceremonies for three years.

As well as celebrating the achievements of our wonderful students, every graduation ceremony has an honorary graduate, rewarding an individual for outstanding accomplishments in their field or for notable contributions to their community.

Next year will be no exception and, in anticipation of UEA’s 2022 celebrations, throughout this week we’ll be announcing the honorary degree recipients joining us in July next year, some of the biggest and brightest names across a number of vocations.
