D. Litt. is an academic degree, a higher doctorate which, in some countries (e.g. UK, Australia, India, Ireland), may be considered to be beyond the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) or the EdD (Doctor of Education) and equal to the Doctor of Science (D.Sc.). It is awarded in many countries by universities and academic bodies in recognition of achievement in the humanities, original contribution to the creative arts, or scholarship and other merits.
The D.Litt. degree may also be awarded honoris causa
