Guests at the ceremony then heard from our Principal John Clarke and former student Julie Kenyon. Julie spoke passionately about how in her 40’s she had decided to totally change her career and return to higher education, and how the support and encouragement she had received at Southport College University Centre had empowered her to graduate with a BA (hons) in Criminology and Social Sciences, gain a 2:1 and now follow a rewarding and successful career in Youth Justice.

The event ended with a short performance from some of our University Centre’s HND Performing Arts students, including a very pertinent excerpt from Willy Russell’s “Educating Rita”.

Our new building has been fully operational since and if you are interested in having a look around or finding out more about what is on offer at our University Centre please contact our student guidance team who will be happy to help.
