Double delight for brainy twins
21.07.08
CLONMANY twins Elaine
and Emer Doherty are celebrating on the double after
each getting first class honours in their university
degrees.
The sisters graduated from Liverpool Hope University
with BAs in Geography with QTS (qualified teacher
status).
"Elaine and I attended our local secondary school,
Carndonagh Community School and from there we
progressed to the North West Institute of Further
and Higher Education in Derry where we obtained a
Higher National Diploma in Early Childhood Studies,"
explained Emer. |
"Liverpool Hope was
highly recommended to us by former graduates of the
university. After researching many universities in
which to continue our studies, Hope had most to
offer in terms of facilities and opportunities
available. Alongside this, it had the reputation of
being a successful teaching university and so when
we were both offered places on the BA QTS course it
was difficult to refuse."
Elaine said geography was a favourite subject not
least because of growing up on a peninsula |
 |
with extraordinary
natural beauty.
"Living near the coast, geography has always been of
keen interest to me so naturally combining Geography
with a BA QTS was the obvious route to achieving my
ambition of becoming a teacher," she said.
The dark-haird sisters have plans for further study
and are thinking of staying at Hope.
"We are going to enjoy the summer break and look
forward to beginning our teaching careers. We are
considering furthering our studies, with any luck at
Liverpool Hope," said Elaine, who recommended the
university to other Inishowen students. |
