Cowbridge students have graduated in languages with flying colours!

Harriet Booth, Rachel Proctor and Bethan Thomas left Cowbridge in 2010 having achieved excellent A-level results. Time has flown by and this year they have all graduated from university.
Harriet graduated from Bath University with a 2.1 in German and International Management. She is currently enjoying an internship at Siemens and working on an interesting communication project for the company. Her work will focus on the UK, Austria and probably Sweden! She is then going to do volunteer work in Australia after Christmas. 



  Bethan graduated from Southampton university with a 2.1 in French and German and she is now doing an internship for a translation company in Hamburg! Follow her blog:
 
 
Rachel studied at Bristol university and graduated with a 2.1 in German and Russian. She is now living in Berlin. Having lived there on her year abroad she couldn't wait to get back to the excitement of Berlin. She is doing a translation internship there.
 
We look forward to following their continuing career and travel updates! Félicitations. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Living in Hamburg, Germany - a former student's blog!

 
You may remember Bethan Thomas  who has visited school a number of times, the latest being this July. Bethan graduated from Southampton with a 2.1 in French and German this year. Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Félicitations. She has now decided that she can't get enough of life abroad (who can blame her!) and is currently working as an Intern in Hamburg for the year. Her blog makes for entertaining and informative reading! Enjoy.

There is a prize if anyone can work out why her blog is called: Verloren in Traduction!
