First Class success for local student


Dunstable College’s team from the BA (Hons) in Graphic Design for Print and New Media is celebrating its students’ top results for the second year running.

Student Silvie French, originally from the Czech Republic and now married and living in Dunstable, has achieved a First Class Honours Degree. Five further students have achieved Upper Seconds and the remaining three Lower Seconds.

Course Team Leader Celeste Henney comments, “For the two years that I’ve been running this course, I’ve been delighted with the outstandingly high level of student achievements. We have yet another First Class Honours this year and our students have competed at international and national levels at top London design shows, matching their counterparts in terms of professionalism, talent and creativity.

“I’ve just received further great news from one of last year’s graduates, who also achieved a First Class Honours Degree, to say that she is starting work in September as a creative with BBH (Bartle Bogle Hegarty), one of the world’s top advertising and design agencies. This has always been her dream company to work for and she thoroughly deserves this success.

“Other graduates have just started up their own design company called Moo based in Milton Keynes. Given the quality of their work, including international competition success, I have no doubt that they will thrive in the highly competitive environment of the new city.”
