Students from the University of Bolton have been celebrating on the first day of a full week of graduation ceremonies. The Chancellor of the University of Bolton, the Earl of St Andrews – Professor George Philip Nicholas Windsor – praised students’ success at the three ceremonies on Monday, July 15, held at Bolton’s Albert Halls, in the magnificent town hall. The Earl conferred degrees on students from the University’s Research and Doctoral College, the School of Engineering, the National Centre for Motorsport Engineering (NCME) and the School of Education.
He said: “We are so proud of your achievements, which are a testament to all your hard work and dedication.
