Congratulations Dr Coogan

If you're a regular on these pages you will know that Joy was an Access student who finished here in 1998.  Since then Joy has gone on to do marvellous things with the opportunities an Access Certificate gave her.  

 

She studied for a degree in Psychology at the University of East London. She liked it so much she ended up working there as a researcher and lecturer and, recently, gained her doctorate in Psychology.

 

This is a marvellous achievement for someone who once described herself as an 'ordinary mum of 5 children'.
 

Be surprised at what you can achieve at Tower Hamlets College.

Keep the success stories coming...
 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... keep sending in your success stories.  Here are three more of our former students who have gone on to bigger and better things since deciding to return to college and go on and get a degree.


Earlyna Edwards contacted us in November last year to let us know that she completed her BSc in Computer Information Studies from Greenwich University and is now setting up a business that sells gospel music.  She left Arbour Square in July 2004, and graduated last summer, and appears to be as happy and smiley as she always was at Arbour Square.

 

Abdul Malik left us in 2002.  He went on to Goldsmiths College and completed a degree in Applied Social Science, in Youth & Community & Social Development.  He is now employed as a Youth Worker in Tower Hamlets, is a guest lecturer on the Goldsmiths College Social Work programme, and is also training to become an NVQ & VRQ Assessor.

 

Marie-Therese Parchment completed her Access to Science course at Tower Hamlets in 2000 and went on to study Podiatry at UCL.  She is now a fully qualified Podiatrist, working in Newham.  So, if you want your aching feet looked at...!  She is now contemplating returning to study to train as a doctor.


We wish them all the very best on their future successes.
