A SPA student discovered his hard work had reaped success when he received a first class honours degree in Economics.
Andrew Williams (pictured, right), of Westwood Close, is celebrating following his success at Lancaster University Management School, where he graduated with a BSc (Hons).
His degree was confirmed at a colourful ceremony last month by the university's chancellor, HRH Princess Alexandra.
The 20-year-old has now secured a place with the accountancy firm Deloitte and Touche, based in Birmingham, on its graduate chartered accountancy scheme.
Andrew, a star pupil throughout his education, previously studied at Droitwich Spa High School and Sixth Form Centre, in Briar Mill.
There he failed to disappoint and passed his A-levels with flying colours, getting A grades in maths, economics, history and general studies.
Andrew said he was really pleased at his success, adding: "I really enjoyed my three years at university.
"My second year was the best year of my life as I got to study international economics and finance in Boston, USA.
"University was brilliant, I really made the most of the whole experience."
The dean of the management school, professor Sue Cox, said: "We are delighted with Andrew's result.
"This is an excellent performance and a reward for his hard work.
"The skills he has developed will be very much in demand as he progresses through his career."
