Mature Students Graduate

Mature students Pauline Fell, of the Bradford Centre for International Development, and Peggy Beardall, from the School of Health Studies, have graduated with BA (Hons) in Management and Organisations.

The students worked together for five years to achieve first their Diploma in Administrative Management then their degrees.

Both are staff at the University.

Pauline said: "Age is not a barrier to Higher Education and being in a small group of mature students has been extremely important for mutual support and encouragement.

"Being staff members of the University enabled us to fully use the excellent library and computer facilities and the support from colleagues in the departments was paramount to our success."

Their graduation ceremony was a special occasion for both them and their families who supported them through their studies.
