Sisters Emma and Alex Davies of Scalebor Park, Burley-in-Wharfedale, have both graduated in July with First Class Honours degrees. Emma, 23, graduated from Edinburgh University with a First in English Language and Italian (with Distinction). This included a year studying at Bologna University in Northern Italy. Alex, 20, graduated from Northumbria University with a First in Criminology and throughout her three years at university continually worked as a volunteer at a number of prisons in Northumberland to gain valuable experience and insight to help with her degree.
Emma will now apply for the Foreign Office graduate scheme in September and Alex is about to set off to Australia to travel the southern hemisphere and Far East before applying to the Prison Graduate scheme as she is hoping for a career helping to rehabilitate prisoners.
