Honorary Fellowship

The Society may from time to time award an Honorary Fellowship to any individual, other than a design practitioner, who has over a period of time made an outstanding and significant contribution to ‘the profession of design’ or to ‘the Society’ itself.

Honorary Fellowship is a prestigious recognition and no more than fifteen in each of the two criteria may hold the title at any one time. Those receiving this accolade are able to use the title Honorary Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers and may use the post nominal letters Hon.FCSD.
