Chalmers was given the right to confer doctorates in 1940. Since then 11 jubilee doctors, 215 honorary doctors, 3 279 PhDs (Engineering), 353 PhDs (Philosophy), 3 PhDs (Economics) and one PhD (Medicine) have been conferred.
Chalmers organizes a Doctoral Degree Conferment Ceremony every year.
At the solemn ceremony, the new PhDs receive their symbols of honour: a diploma, a hat and a ring.
(Chalmers hands out diplomas, the hat and the ring is bought by the PhD voluntarily).
Jubilee doctor is a title earned by individuals who received their doctoral degree and conferred fifty years ago at Chalmers University of Technology.
