2021 Higher Education Awards Ceremony (Graduation)

We were thrilled to hold our twenty fourth Higher Education Awards Ceremony on Saturday 16 October at our Pencoed Campus, with over 200 Higher Education (HE) learners acknowledged across 3 ceremonies. We celebrated those achieving a vast range of qualifications including HNC/D, Foundation Degree, BA Hons, BSc and PGCE.

Graduates were conferred by representatives from Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of South Wales. Each ceremony included a musical interlude performed by our talented Singing Academy students, who performed ‘Seventeen’ from the musical, ‘Heathers’ and ‘You will be found’ from ‘Dear Evan Hansen’.

Along with the ceremony, graduates celebrated with their family and friends with refreshments available within our brand new STEAM Academy.

We were also delighted to award our 2021 Honorary Fellowships to 3 individuals who have made exceptional contributions to Bridgend and the wider community. We recognised Suzanne Packer for her service to Creative Arts, Uzo Iwobi for her inspirational dedication and commitment to Public Service and Helen Langton for her service to education.

A huge congratulations to all of our graduates and we wish you all a very bright future in which you can be all that you can be!
