Sania was honoured with the degree for her achievements in tennis.
"I think my first ambition as a kid was to be a doctor. I felt that way for quite a while," said Sania about her childhood dreams.
''I am not looking for anything right now. My top priority now is to get back into best shape. I have been training hard in the off-season camp in Bangalore,'' she said.
She said her aim was to make it to the top 10 in the world.
''Training with Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna helps a lot. One thing I have learnt in life is to live the moment and now I am going to enjoy my Doctorate,'' she said, adding, ''I think I have a few more years left in me to prove that I am capable making it to top-10.''
But the highest ranked Indian women's player has not had a good 2008 and is now ranked 101 in the WTA list.
