Honorary Fellows

An Honorary Fellowship is a highly prestigious award which the University can bestow on an annual basis to distinguished individuals who have a connection with the University, or with Wales, and who have made an outstanding contribution to their chosen field. Honorary Fellowships have been awarded for the last 20 years during the Degree Ceremonies each year, and over 150 individuals have been honoured in this way. The University maintains links with its Honorary Fellows, and the annual Honorary Fellows’ Dinner is one of the highlights of the University year.
