Spice Girl icon Geri Horner beamed with joy as she received her honorary doctorate degree at Sheffield Hallam University.
The 50-year-old made an appearance at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield.
She received the honorary doctorate award for her work championing children, young people, and women's rights.
The singer wore the graduation gown as she posed for professional pictures while holding her award.
Geri previously said it was a 'great privilege' to be honoured and said education is a 'superpower'.
"I sincerely believe education is a superpower, supporting young people with the confidence, perspective and experience to pursue their life goals and dreams," she said.
Earlier this year, Geri visited the campus and met up with vice-chancellor Professor Sir Chris Husbands as well as some students.
The vice-chancellor said: "Geri Halliwell-Horner’s contribution to raising the aspirations of children and young people alongside her commitment to promoting women’s rights align closely with the university’s mission to transform lives.
"I am delighted that she has accepted our offer to award her an honorary doctorate in recognition of her philanthropic work, and look forward to welcoming her to our community."
Her incredible feat comes after she celebrated another milestone - her 50th birthday.
The mum-of-two held the party earlier this month at her palatial pile in Oxfordshire, which she shares with husband and Red Bull boss, Christian Horner, 48.
Ginger Spice actually turned 50 in August, but postponed her party following news of the Queen's death.
Geri invited 160 guests to celebrate her milestone bash, including Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Rylan and David Walliams.

Mel B, who recently got engaged to fiancé Rory McPhee, was reportedly not in attendance.
Welsh legend Dame Shirley Bassey sang Happy Birthday to Geri before a performance by X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
A live jazz music band also accompanied the festivities, which included an impressive fireworks display and a sumptuous three-course dinner.
