Last month our Graduate Planner, Abigayle Boardman, attended her official Graduation Ceremony at University of Liverpool. We would like to congratulate Abigayle on this achievement and are excited to continue supporting Abigayle in her professional development beyond university. Abigayle has said of her Graduation:

“Undertaking this masters during the global pandemic was not without it’s challenges. Attending lectures remotely and undertaking group assignments with other students dotted around the north was certainly a new and interesting experience. Despite the course being delivered almost entirely online, I have still made some incredible friends and think fondly on the university experience.

Despite officially graduating in December 2021, we were able to celebrate our achievements at the Graduation Ceremony in March 2022, making the whole thing finally feel real and completed. I’m thrilled to have obtained my masters in planning and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for me professionally.”

Abigayle’s course was accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute and as such Abigayle became a Licentiate member of the RTPI in December 2021. Abigayle is now working on her L-APC submission to obtain full chartered membership, whilst also seeking to specialise in heritage and conservation.
