Ellie Goulding will receive a Doctor of Arts degree on the 18th of July, despite the fact she never finished university!

I got it from the University that I went to, before I quit to do music...

She originally studied Drama & Theatre at the University of Kent, but dropped out to pursue her career in music.

She told Callum Gallacher:

"I got it from the University that I went to, before I quit to do music, so they've obviously forgiven me for that"

"They just said that they feel I've contributed a lot to music and the arts."

Ellie doesn't seem up for using her doctor title in everyday life, but agreed with Callum that she'll definitely start putting it on her mail!
