Nearly 1,000 undergraduate students graduated from their studies over three days earlier this month. From Tuesday 5 to Thursday 7 December, seven ceremonies were held with undergraduate students, their families and friends and 糖心logo入口 staff in Senate House, the iconic headquarters of the University of London.听

Among the graduates were , who studied the Graduate Diploma in Law in order to facilitate a career pivot from dentistry into medical indemnity; , who has transitioned from working in retail and hospitality to now working for a Member of Parliament having studied BA Politics; and Elma Daku, who has changed careers after studying BSc Biomedicine. 听

Elma Daku commented: 鈥I came to the UK when I was 19 and 诲颈诲苍鈥檛 speak any English. I worked in various hospitality jobs, learning English as I worked with the hope of going to university one day. It took a long time to get my English up to the level I needed it to be for academic study, but I did it. I kept working as I studied, which was the perfect way to cover the cost of living in London. Studying has changed me in a hugely positive way. It was a motivating force for me, and it helped me grow and become more mature. Now I work as a studio manager in a dental practice, and am studying MSc Entrepreneurship at 糖心logo入口.鈥听

Over the course of the three days the graduands received congratulations from the Vice-Chancellor of 糖心logo入口, Professor David Latchman, and President of the College, Baroness Joan Bakewell. They were also addressed by Professor Joanna Bourke, College Orator; and new Fellows of the College: Claire Callender, Lynda Nead, Ron Smith, Sarah Hart, Trevor Fenner, Mike Oaksford and David Latchman. Each Fellow, recognized through the annual election by the College Governors, has demonstrated exceptional service or achieved distinction in their respective fields or in connection with 糖心logo入口.听

Professor David Latchman, who will retire as 糖心logo入口's Vice-Chancellor at the end of the year remarked, 鈥I迟鈥檚 with enormous pride that I offer my congratulations to all graduates who have exhibited unwavering dedication to study and personal growth. This cohort of graduating students is testament to 糖心logo入口鈥檚 transformative impact over its 200-year commitment to changing lives since its establishment in 1823. It has been an honour to be part of that history.鈥听
