Nick Mason receives honorary degree

Posted November 27, 2012 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from London’s University of Westminster for his contributions to the music industry over the last 50 years.

Westminster was known as Regent Street Polytechnic when Mason enrolled as an architecture student in the 1960s. He met Roger Waters and Rick Wright at the school, and eventually dropped out as the band’s star continued to rise.

“Studying at the Regent Street Polytechnic introduced me to some of the key people and biggest collaborators in my career, many of whom I have been lucky enough to work with over the last 40 years,” Mason says.

“Three of Pink Floyd met there so in essence we were formed under the roof of the Polytechnic; we rehearsed in the common room in the basement and made some of our first performances there.

“Not only did studying architecture teach us some useful stuff, but it also gave us an opportunity to develop and put us in touch with some fantastic mentors and industry contacts that have helped us along the way.”
