It was back to university for Susan Boyle today, but there were no exams in sight.

The singer returned to her alma matter, Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret University, to receive an honorary doctorate for her contribution to the creative industries.

Boyle was the runner-up in the 2009 final of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, and has gone on to sell over 18 million albums worldwide. ‘I Dreamed A Dream’, a musical based on the life of the Scottish singer, played in Dublin last April.
