Sixth Doctor Colin Baker has been awarded an honorary doctorate by Buckinghamshire New University.

Baker received the Honorary Doctorate in recognition of his international standing, local profile and links to the University’s course portfolio.

He said: “To receive an honour like this is something I could never have predicted even in my wildest imaginings when I gave up a career in the law to become an actor five decades ago.

“It’s even more exciting for me personally than the last time I became a Doctor in 1983.”

Professor Rebecca Bunting, Vice-Chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University, said: “We are delighted that Colin Baker has accepted our invitation to be associated with Bucks New University in this prestigious way. We carefully select our honorary awardees in recognition of their outstanding achievements in their particular fields and I am sure that he will be an inspiration to our graduating students and to those in years to come.”
