Declaring an academic degree awarded
description: Records an academic degree conferred on somebody, such as a doctorate or a master's degree. The degree is modelled as a first-class thing (a VIVO awarded degree), so that the conferring institution, the year, the faculty or subject, and a link to the thesis can all be attached to it. This is about the degree itself, not about the period of study, which is better recorded as a position.
