Two twin triumphs at BGU

 15/07/2013

Two sets of identical twins will graduate from Bishop Grosseteste University at Lincoln Cathedral on Wednesday (17th July).

Gemma and Jade Charlton and Stacey and Nicole Hall, all 21, will be graduating with honours degrees in the ceremony before following various paths into teaching.

Stacey and Nicole, from Long Eaton in Nottingham, are both graduating with first-class honours: Stacey in Education Studies and English, and Nicole in Education Studies and History. Nicole will now go on to study for her PGCE qualifications at BGU in September, while Stacey will take two years out, to gain some work experience before studying for a Masters Degree in Social Work.

When they found out their results, Stacey said: "It was a little nerve-wracking as I got my results and saw I had a first, but we didn't yet know what Nicole had achieved, so it was a relief when we found out she'd done just as well!"

Gemma and Jade, from Grimsby, are both graduating with upper second-class honours in Education Studies and Sport - but they are now going down different routes into the world of teaching.

"I have decided to go straight back to BGU and do my PGCE, while Jade will go down a different route and is looking for jobs as a teaching assistant in schools first, before she trains to become a teacher," said Gemma.

Both sets of twins will graduate at 2.30pm on Wednesday 17th July 2013.
