Ed Sheeran is fast running out of things to be awarded; at the rate he's going, the 24-year-old musician will have nothing left to achieve by the time he's 30.

His latest accolade is an honorary doctorate which was bestowed upon him by University Campus Suffolk in Ipswich, who awarded him with the title for his outstanding contribution to music.

Considering that Sheeran never went to university - in fact, he quit school at 16 - his parents should be pleased with this one.

He said: "I've had an amazing year... and this makes it even better. Suffolk is very much where I call home. Receiving this recognition is a real privilege."

He posted the below photo with the caption: "I graduated today, I am now officially Dr. Sheeran."
