Glorious sunshine graced the stunning surroundings of Portsmouth Cathedral for our 2024 graduation ceremony.
A total of 22 adult learners were there with their families and friends to mark the successful completion of their higher education courses.
They were treated to a formal reception and presentation by Professor Anne Murphy, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) at the University of Portsmouth and Governor at City of Portsmouth College.
Anne was joined by the College’s Principal and CEO Katy Quinn, together with other members of the senior management team.
She told the graduands: “As adult learners, you have already demonstrated a belief in, and a commitment to, life-long learning. In a world that is ever-changing and a labour market where the skills we all need to be successful in our roles seem to shift so rapidly, you have shown that you are able and willing to rise to those challenges.”
