{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} A '''praelector''' is a traditional role at the [[University of Cambridge]] and the [[University of Oxford]]. The role differs somewhat between the two ancient universities.
==University of Cambridge== At Cambridge, a praelector is the [[Fellow#Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin|fellow]] of a [[College#Oxford and Cambridge|college]] who formally presents students during their [[matriculation]] and the graduation ceremony at Cambridge, especially during the [[Congregation (university)|Congregation]] of the [[Regent House]] when degrees are conferred.
==University of Oxford== At Oxford, a praelector may be a fellow of the college, but may also be a college tutor who is responsible for running an honours school in the absence of a fellow. A praelector may also hold a college fellowship.
