Further details
Honorary Fellowship is distinct from Fellowship by election, applications for which are made by individuals on their own behalf, considered by the Membership Committee and approved by Council three times a year.
There is not a fixed number of Honorary Fellowships that are made each year; however, this is typically between eight to twelve a year.
