º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Vice-Chancellor meets some of the University’s newest students on A Level results day
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Vice-Chancellor was at Oadby’s Beauchamp College today (Thursday 16 August) to personally congratulate students who have secured a place to study with us in October.
Hundreds of pupils gathered at the College to collect their A-Level Results, marking the end of two years of hard work.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Bob Allison joined in the celebrations, meeting those who will be coming to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ in a few weeks.
Milan Pankhania was just one of the students to be congratulated by Professor Allison. He said: “I’m so happy to be going to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. It was great to have the Vice-Chancellor at the College, a real surprise.
“I was able to ask lots of questions about starting University; going to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ is a dream come true for me.”
Professor Allison added: “These students have worked incredibly hard to get these results and secure a place at one of the country’s best universities. I’m delighted to welcome them personally to the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ family and to congratulate them on what they have achieved. They should all feel incredibly proud.”
Sally Wicken, Principal of Beauchamp, added: "Our students have achieved another great set of results despite the extra challenge of more rigorous A Levels. Now we wish them well with the next part of their journey.
“Leicestershire students are fortunate that they have three excellent universities in the county and it's great that º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ have spent time with us today seeing what it means to students when they get the results they need.”
