"For the purpose of obtaining the highest honours, she has been declared perfectly suitable for a Doctorate."
This is assuming that 'absoluto' is an adverbial ablative equivilent to 'completely, perfectly' (the classical word would have been 'absolute'). 'Doctoranda' is peculiar, but is certainly a gerundive.
