Recently, 130 students who had studied foundation degrees at City College Plymouth were awarded honours degrees at Plymouth University's graduation ceremony. Nine of those students achieved the highest award of a first class honours degree. A further 290 students who have just completed their courses at the college were awarded foundation degrees in a wide range of subjects.
City College Plymouth is hosting a University-level Courses Open Day on Saturday, October 13, between 10 and 1pm, at its Kings Road site, in Devonport.
