Chelsea College honorary degree recognition

Recognising former Chelsea College students

The University of Brighton is proud of its heritage and the institutions that have contributed to its history, including Chelsea College.

We are inviting expressions of interest from former Chelsea College students who would like to be considered for the award of an honorary degree from the University of Brighton.

This initiative is intended to recognise former students of Chelsea College who completed their studies but did not subsequently receive a higher award, such as a degree.

The scheme reflects the University's commitment to equity, inclusion and the recognition of educational achievement. It also provides an opportunity to celebrate the contribution that former Chelsea College students have made to their professions, communities and wider society.

Submit your details to be considered for an honorary degree

Who is eligible?

You may be eligible if:

  • You studied at Chelsea College between 1947 and 1982;
  • You did not subsequently receive a higher award, such as a degree; and
  • You are interested in being considered for an honorary degree from the University of Brighton

All submissions will be reviewed and eligibility confirmed by the University before any award is made.

What do I need to do?

If you would like to be considered, please complete our online expression of interest form.

The form will ask for:

  • Your contact details
  • Information about your time at Chelsea College
  • Whether you would be interested in attending a future celebratory event

If you are unable to complete the form yourself, a family member, friend or fellow Chelsea College student may complete it on your behalf.

Celebratory event 

As part of this initiative, the University is exploring the possibility of holding a celebratory event for recipients. 

At this stage, we are gathering information about likely levels of interest. Further details, including dates and arrangements, will be provided if sufficient interest is received. 

Completing the form does not commit you to attending an event, but it will help us plan appropriately.
