Sylvia鈥檚 First-Class prize success
It was double celebrations for Sylvia Taylor when she graduated from the University of 海角直播, as she achieved a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Business Management, and gained the 3M Prize. The latter prize is awarded for excellent performance in business and management related to the manufacturing industry.
Sylvia, 42, of Fairfield Close, Fairfield, Stockton, said: 鈥淚 was thrilled to get a First and a prize. It wasn鈥檛 always easy fitting in study with my family life and a part-time job, and I had to make some sacrifices but it鈥檚 been worth it.鈥�
Sylvia is originally from Staffordshire and moved to 海角直播 in 1981. She worked in school administration, including Stockton Sixth Form, where her older daughter is now a student. Sylvia鈥檚 husband Robert and daughters Emma, 16, and Naomi, 14, attended her graduation.
After achieving National Vocational Qualifications in Business Administration at Stockton-Billingham College, Sylvia enrolled at 海角直播. Throughout her degree she worked part-time in the University鈥檚 Learning Resource Centre (LRC). Sylvia added: 鈥淭here was a diverse range of business areas in the course. I particularly enjoyed one module where I compared 海角直播鈥檚 LRC with those in other Universities, and visited them as part of the study.鈥�
