Doctor of Excellence:
A Recognition of
Professional Excellence
The Excellence Doctorate is a professional recognition that provides an
independent quality assurance reference for highly qualified
professionals from all fields, for those who strive for personal
excellence, and who become a motivating example in their communities.
The Doctorate of Excellence Honoris Causa is a recognized mark of
professional excellence and ability, outstanding professional career,
services to the human kind and international achievements.
The Doctorate of International Excellence.
A Doctorate of Excellence is not an academic degree, consequently the usual
academic requirements of a doctorate are waived. The Doctorate of
Excellence is an honorary degree that may be considered to have the same
standing, and to grant the same privileges and style of address as the
Doctorate Honoris Causa. In practice, however, such degrees tend to be
popularly considered not to be of the same standing as academic
doctorate, except where the recipient has demonstrated an appropriate
level of academic scholarship.
Recipients of an honorary doctorate such the Excellence Doctorate may if
they wish adopt the title of "Doctor". In many countries, including the
United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, it is now
a matter of personal preference should an honorary doctor use the formal
title of "doctor", regardless of the background circumstances for the
award. The recipient of an honorary degree should always be made clear
that the degree is honorary. For example:
Dr. John Smith, Doctor of Excellence (H.C.)
Dr. John Smith, Doctor of Excellence (Honoris Causa)
