Singing sensation Susan Boyle has been awarded an honorary doctorate from a Scottish university.
The singer once studied for a higher education certificate at the university.
A 40-something church volunteer from a small Scottish village, Boyle became a global sensation in 2009 after she performed the song "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" on the television program "Britain's Got Talent."
She has since sold 18 million records around the world and performed for audiences from the U.S. to China.
