Is LBBS an accredited institution?
LBBS is currently a UK-registered executive education provider. We are actively working toward achieving full academic accreditation as a recognised degree-awarding institution. This process is in advanced stages and we expect formal approval in due course.
Does LBBS offer honorary doctorate degrees?
Yes. LBBS confers honorary (non-academic) doctorate degrees to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to society, business, leadership, or innovation. These awards are symbolic recognitions of achievement — not academic qualifications earned through coursework.
What is the purpose of the honorary doctorate award?
The honorary award is designed to celebrate exceptional individuals across the world who demonstrate leadership, impact, innovation, or philanthropy. It is a symbolic gesture of recognition, not equivalent to a taught or earned doctorate.
Can I call myself “Doctor” after receiving an honorary degree?
While some recipients choose to use the “Dr.” prefix, it is important to clarify that honorary doctorates are not academic credentials. Recipients are encouraged to indicate that the title is honorary (e.g., "Dr. Jane Doe, HonD.") in formal or public contexts.
Is the honorary doctorate the same as a PhD or professional doctorate?
No. A PhD or professional doctorate involves rigorous academic study, research, and assessment. LBBS honorary doctorates are awarded purely as symbolic recognitions for distinguished achievements — not through academic coursework or research.
Who is eligible for the honorary doctorate award?
Individuals with proven track records of leadership, innovation, philanthropy, social impact, or business excellence are eligible. Nominations are carefully reviewed by the LBBS Board of Recognition and Awards before any conferral.
Can I apply for the honorary award?
You can express interest or nominate someone via our honorary award application page. Every nomination is subjected to a strict vetting and approval process.
Where is LBBS based?
LBBS is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with a growing global presence through online programmes, live virtual events, and leadership masterclasses in Europe, Africa, and beyond.
What makes LBBS different from other education providers?
We blend executive development, practical learning, and international recognition into one platform. LBBS is designed for ambitious professionals who value real-world results over traditional academic routes — with the flexibility to learn from anywhere.
