How can you obtain an honorary doctorate?

To obtain an honorary doctorate, a university or institution typically selects individuals who have made significant contributions to their field or society. You cannot apply for an honorary doctorate; it is usually bestowed upon you based on your achievements and merits, often through a nomination or recommendation process. Honorary doctorates are awarded as a recognition of excellence and are not earned through academic coursework or research.
