Graduate success
University Centre Hastings welcomed its first students in September 2003.
The first UCH students graduated at a ceremony held in July 2006. In 2007 nearly 40 students graduated, in 2008 we had 75 graduates, in 2009 over 100 and this year 2010, over 120 are graduating, and we congratulate them all. see News
Our graduates have gone on to work in a variety of industries both locally and nationally. Despite a challenging economic situation, many of our most recent UCH graduates quickly secured jobs or are moving on to further study. Carl Payne and Ransome Mpini both graduated with first class degrees in 2009 and have gone on to work for Merrill Lynch and the BBC respectively. Other graduates, Jodie Taylor and Wendy Philcox, gained local jobs at the Hastings Trust and at UCH. Last year, we also saw the first group of graduates from our Broadcast Media Honours degree and many have gone straight into employment. Amongst those graduating from the course were Basia Lalik who gained a full-time position at Envy Post Production House, Joanna Piri who recently became a floor runner for both EastEnders and Holby City, and Pat Moore joined the UCH team as a Media Technician.
