Two former Cornwall College A-level students, Rebecca Coath and Theo Cushion graduated with first class Masters degrees in Electronic Engineering at Southampton University.
Southampton University is considered to be the top electronics university in the country, making these fantastic achievements even more commendable. Rebecca also received the accolade of being top overall engineering student, having been awarded the Zeppler prize.
Rosanna Smith, another former A-level student, has this September received her PhD from University College London. Rosanna previously achieved a First class degree in Geo physics at Liverpool University and is now working at UCL following on from her PhD research on Volcanoes.
And it's not only students who followed an academic path who have made great achievements. This summer Dan Inch, a former Sports Science national diploma student and Cornwall College Sports lecturer, has been working in Ireland and across the UK for Manchester United's Soccer Schools.
Former Hospitality national diploma student, Hazel Parsons, has fast tracked her career in Hotel management after leaving Cornwall College in 2002. Hazel is now General Manager at the Porthminster Hotel in St Ives at only 23 years old.
John Latham, Principal of Cornwall College, said: "These fantastic achievements are a testament to the dedication and hard work these students have demonstrated, and I am proud to say that skills and knowledge they acquired at Cornwall College has helped them on their journeys."
Cornwall College will also be congratulating its own Higher education students this coming November at the Graduation Ceremony to be held in Truro Cathedral. The students have studied at Cornwall College and gain degrees in partnership with the University of Plymouth.
