Honorary doctors over the years
Through the award of honorary doctorates, the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) seeks to strengthen the perception of LTH as a modern and professional higher education institution that provides benefit to the world. Being named an honorary doctor at LTH is evidence of great appreciation.
The award is given to those who have contributed to development, renewal or visibility within the areas linked to the faculty’s operations.

Peter Cook, 2010
Sir Peter Cook is a world-famous architect, 73, trained at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London and elsewhere. From 2005 to 2009, he was visiting professor at the School of Architecture at LTH.
