We’re so delighted to announce the graduation of students from our MA Professional Practice Voice Pedagogy degree course during yesterday’s ceremony at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

This time is always exciting for our students and serves as a reward for their months of hard work and excellent research.

We have students all around the world, so not everyone can make it to the ceremony, but we wish our graduates the best of luck for the future - we're so proud of you!
