Dundee University’s winter graduations saw Stagecoach founder Ann Gloag and Professor Nick Hastie awarded honorary degrees.
Around 900 students will celebrate graduation in three ceremonies, two held yesterday and one today.
Students from across the university’s schools will be awarded undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as diplomas.
In his speech on Thursday, principal and vice-chancellor Professor Pete Downes said: “Graduation is a time for celebration but also a time for reflection.
“In common with all of life’s most important milestones, we pause to look back on how far we have come and what we have achieved before turning once more to the future and the opportunities and challenges to come.
“Today we pause together at that moment of celebration.”
There was a slight gaffe at the morning ceremony when Chancellor Narendra Patel awarded Ms Gloag her honorary degree from “the University of St Andrews”.
He quickly corrected his slip and quipped that he had offended both institutions.
Ms Gloag received her honour at the morning ceremony, for students from the College of Arts and Social Sciences and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
Professor Hastie received his at the afternoon ceremony, with graduands from the College of Life Sciences, the College of Art, Science and Engineering, and the School of Education, Social Work and Community Education.
Ms Gloag spoke before the ceremony as she was donning her robes.
She said: “I’m very excited, and it’s very flattering to be awarded a degree from a local university.
“I honestly feel like a little bit of an imposter standing with all the students because I haven’t done the years of study.
“I certainly didn’t expect it. The last time I was at the Caird Hall I was part of a singing company as a child.”
Today’s ceremony celebrates students from the College of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing and the Centre for Forensic and Legal Medicine.
