Doctoral Award Ceremony 2025

On the annual doctoral award ceremony on Saturday 4 October, SLU’s largest ceremonial occasion, we celebrate those who have recently completed their doctoral studies, honorary doctors and jubilee doctors, and recognise those who have made valuable contributions to our university in various ways.
