Graduating with fonder memories of Aberdeen University than most is Chloe Alexander.
Not content with achieving three qualifications there, the 27-year-old married husband Karl – who she also met at the university – in April.
And where else did they hold their ceremony but King’s College?
Her new husband, a geology graduate from Peterhead, now works in the offshore industry.
The couple only recently returned from a two-week holiday in Turkey.
Mrs Alexander, who is originally from Diabaig near Gairloch, said: “We met through friends when I was in my final year of my undergraduate degree. He supported me all the way through my masters.”
On Friday, she graduated with a PhD in history, which she adds to the MA honours (first) in history and international relations that she collected in 2008 and the following year’s masters in modern historical studies.
Now living in Aberdeen, she is still not quitting the campus, having secured a job as a academic skills adviser in academic writing.
Speaking of her attachment to the university, she said: “Old Aberdeen is just like a little community in itself. And throughout the departments there are some really great members of staff. I think that’s what makes it.”
