Matthew began his educational journey with a GNVQ in Business Studies and is graduating with a BA Business & Management Studies.

During his time at university Matthew made many friends, adding, "I have really enjoyed the social life here and the opportunities to meet different people from different backgrounds."

Aside from the social side of university, Matthew also enjoyed spending much of his time split between the campus gym and library. Already working, Matthew hopes to take part in a Knowledge Transfer scheme with the University of Western England.

As for his future, Matthew says, "I haven't thought that far ahead yet, I'd love to be working in consultancy and really want to put my degree to good use. I'm glad to have graduated and am excited that my parents are here to see it."
