University Medallists   

These celebrate the very best of the Loughborough community; the University Medal is the most prestigious honour that the University can award. Only a small number are given out each year and they are normally presented at a graduation ceremony.  

Honorary Degrees

Loughborough University bestows Honorary Degrees on high-profile individuals who have made outstanding contributions to fields which the University has close links with. Areas of contribution could be any academic, business or professional service area, or of particular relevance to the University’s values and strategic vision.  

You can view previous Honorary Award winners on the dedicated webpage. 

Please contact Abbie Loney (Secretary to University Honours Committee) with questions or for advice about the nominations process.
