STUDENTS at Worcester College of Technology have celebrated their graduation.

Almost 200 successful students at the Deansway-based college graduated in a ceremony at Worcester Cathedral on Friday.

Subjects studied included theatrical media, make-up and costume, building studies, engineering, sports tourism, public services and computing.

There are also a number of students who graduated with professional certificates and diplomas in areas such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Law.

And 43 students, most of whom are members of college staff who worked full-time while studying, graduated with a Certificate in Education.
