Nearly 200 students from across the north-east came together at Aberdeen Music Hall today for North East Scotland College graduations.

NesCol is holding its first in-person graduations this year since the Covid-19 pandemic began in 2019.

And our photographers, Chris Sumner and Kenny Elrick, were on hand to capture every moment as ceremonies from the college’s business and creative professions courses took to the stage.

Tomorrow will see two more ceremonies taking place.
