Post-nominal letters should be listed in the following order:
- Civil honours.
- Military honours.
- Appointments (e.g. MP, QC)
- Higher Education awards (in ascending order, commencing with undergraduate)
- Membership of academic or professional bodies.
How do I post nominals after my name?
When a professional has earned more than one set of post-nominal letters, it is appropriate to display each set of letters after his or her name. This is done in descending order, with the most prestigious letters being first (closest to the name), followed by a comma, then the next set of letters and so on.
What degree goes first after name?
There is no specific rule for listing professional designations after a person's name. If the person's preference is unknown, professional designations can be listed alphabetically. When both academic degrees and professional designations follow a person's name, the academic degrees should be listed first.
