A Fairy-Tale Come Alive
The Valedictorian of the 2021 graduating batch of UClan, Ms. Viduri Tatiana Dediyagala likened her unforgettable experience as an International Business student at UCL to a “fairy-tale” that had invaluable lessons, challenges and insights weaved into the success- story of UCL Student-toGraduate-to Professional. She received the highest accolade at the recent UClan Graduating Ceremony where 80% of the graduates received first-class honours.
“My time at UCL was not only centered around academic work but also motivated me and a few of my batch-mates to establish the first Drama Club. From the start UCL has been committed to foster all-rounders in their student body whilst encouraging a blend of theoretical learning with productive social interactions allowing them to form essential self-efficacy leading to success”.
I am honoured and grateful to be awarded a gold medal on our graduation day by the University of Central Lancashire along with UCL. I believe it will be of a great memorandum in my career of becoming a marketer in the future. Reflecting upon the past three years it was filled with endless joys and challenges which was unparallel and aided me to transform into a better, refined version of myself. Moreover, UCL indeed has been a family to me. My heartiest thanks go to the academic staff at UCL and the management for their tremendous support and guidance to deliver
‘higher quality, higher education.
