A special award ceremony was recently held at the historic Leathersellers Hall in London to present awards to all final year students from the British School of Leather Technology, UCN.  

Mrs Ann Tate, Rector of University College Northampton, told the assembly that no one would think of starting a leather course in Britain today but the University was grateful to have the history of leather education and training.  It distinguished Northampton from being “just another Higher Education Institute” in middle England, Mrs Tate said, giving it an expertise which was truly global. Mrs Tate said she was determined that teaching leather and the associated design, environmental, and management courses should remain areas where the University at Northampton retained its world leadership.
