Double Graduation joys for Cameroon Family

A family from Cameroon were enjoying a double celebration at the University of Dundee graduation ceremony today (Wed 20th June) as brother and sister Monique and Richard Esingle graduated side by side.

Monique and Richard came to Dundee together to study five years ago, spending their first year studying English as a foreign language before moving on to the four-year BA in Accountancy degree programme at the University.

They have now successfully completed their studies and today received the tap of the traditional Dundee Bonnet from University Chancellor Lord Patel of Dunkeld.

"We have a wonderful time here in Dundee and we will both be staying here for the immediate future as we both now have jobs in the city," said Richard.
