FSB celebrated its 2019 HND graduation ceremony (20 June), honouring the remarkable academic achievements of its Croydon campus students.

In the presence of Cllr Yvette Hopley, Cllr Vidhi Mohan and senior management, FSB students were joined by family and friends to celebrate their success at a lively and grandiose graduation ceremony at the bespoke Croydon Conference Centre.
