The True Blood star was one of nine individuals to receive an honorary doctorate in the arts from Leeds Metropolitan University, E! Online reports.
Skarsgård attended the university in question with a friend for six months after finishing his national service in the Swedish military.
"We wanted to see the real England, so we just looked at a map," Skarsgård told The Daily Telegraph in 2010. "We both liked Leeds United, so we thought, 'Let's go [to Leeds Metropolitan University]'. We didn't study much, we just had a blast. People were super-friendly and I had a great time. I still support Leeds United."
Last week, the 34-year-old joined the cast of the Viking movie The Vanguard, which centres on two Swedish brothers who are exiled to America.
The actor recently confessed that he is enjoying the vulnerability of his True Blood character Eric Northman in the current season of the HBO series.
True Blood continues on Sundays at 9pm on HBO.
