11 Royal Mail staff gain first-class degrees after completing specialist UCLan course.
The staff who are based throughout the UK, gained first-class BEng (Hons) Mechatronics and Intelligent Machines degrees.
They all successfully completed the programme part-time whilst working full-time for the national postal delivery company.
Manoj Vadher, Head of Central Engineering for Royal Mail, has been integral to the relationship and attended the graduation ceremony.
He said: “It’s been the most incredible day, and I’m so proud to see their hard work rewarded. It’s part of our strategy to give more employees an opportunity to upskill themselves and create intelligent ways of working.”
The course required all students to attend the Preston campus for four lots of two-week blocks throughout the academic year but was replaced by online teaching during the pandemic.
Professor Ian Allison, Executive Dean of Faculty of UCLan’s Faculty of Science & Technology, said: “We’re very proud of our relationship with Royal Mail. We’ve worked collaboratively to ensure this programme has delivered top-class, confident graduates.”
